I didn’t know why it wouldn’t be the same hence the question? Had I have known the answer I wouldn’t have asked and your right.. both are too f**ing high but after weeks of no carbs and no alcohol and no doing f**all, I need a blow out.. high readings or not. Does everyone one this forum literally follow LCHF 247, 365 days a year? If so please tell me how you all manage it without a monthly blow out/naughty night?
Sorry, things said in text often don't come across as intended!
I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or judgemental, just offering an explanation of why results can be different within short periods of time, due to biological reasons.
When I started out several decades ago, all we had were strips which changed colour like the pic below. The absolute numbers weren't too important - it was more the general range: 4 to 7, fine; above 9, not good, below 4, grab a Twix!
I was just trying to get across that it's more the general range that's the important thing, sorry if it came across in the wrong way - I've not yet figured out how to use smiley emoticons to indicate tone!
