Hi Guys and Girls
Having now had my TEE 2 meter for about a week now, I am still not sure if I am doing things right, and I hope someone can help. I take a reading when I get up and about half hour before breakfast then take another reading about 1.5 hours -2 hours after The same applies to every meal so far (Morning Lunch and Tea) is this correct? and does the reading in the morning count as fasting? or simply before meal? (Breakfast) as I find the first reading is always about 5.5- 9.0 my second reading after breakfast is always high over 7 in most cases, and has spiked to 11 on the odd occasion, I have 1 slice of toast with olive oil spread and at lease 2 cups of tea with no sugar, just tried cutting out the toast and had 2 boiled eggs this morning and its the first time it had dropped to below 7. but my real question is as stated am I doing this right?????
Many thanks
