Morning All

Don't know what happened yesterday, thought I had posted my 6.2, but it seems not.

Slightly better 5.4 this morning.

Bellatom - Geoffers is right in what he says. Our meters are only required to be +/- 15% at 10, and +/-10% at the 5 level, so I did 3 tests this morning - same finger, different places, 2 different meters. I got 6.6, 6.0 and 5.4.

Fact is, true level is probably around 6.0 - but I always take the lowest for my records, which may be cheating, but it means my trends are consistent, which, as Geoffers also says, is what is important.

Not so good today 6.7 next time no topping on the meatloaf, nice low carb breakfast this morning so hopefully i'll be back around the 5's come lunch.

7.3 this morning, up a bit. Doing 2 week diet doctor challenge, rather than my usual two day fast. Unsure if I can have milk, but I am in coffee and tea. Not sure why I'm moving up, as it's close to 20 carbs per day. Off on walk to compensate.

7.4 up from 6.9 yesterday, 0.5 increase nawt really got my HbA1c tomorrow morning and although it wont make a stack of difference I'd still like it to be lower in the morning just cos I want to feel optimistic about the thing

7.9 this morning, ah well we don't always get what we wish for but i'm going to smile anyway Just wait now to see what comes back in a few days or so

How accurate are these machines
I went to bed after a day of 60carbs got up this morning g/l 7.6 couldnt believe it so redone it within 10 seconds and now reads as 6.5 this is either a miracle or cannot trust this machine.

Ummm there can be glitches, or fingers need washing again?

Got my daily average down to 6.38 over the last three months, my CDE will be very pleased when I see her again.

After washing my hands I use hand gel to ensure as clean as poss do you think this could produce a high reading or maybe i just eating too much. I did have 2 small squares of 85% dark chocolate but this was around 8.30 last night!
