Hi to everyone and I have a question.
I didn't eat until just after 2pm today, and only had a mixed salad with some roast beef slices, followed by my first drink of the day which was coffee with double cream. I was 5.6 before eating and fell asleep so didn't test again for almost three hours but was shocked to get a reading of 9.3. I retook, thinking it was a bad test strip, but got the same. I NEVER get into the nines. Only suspect is cherry tomatoes rather than salad ones in the meal ( I had 5) Could it be those or could it be connected to not having any drinks until 2.30pm? I was quite light headed when I awoke, and even fell asleep again for another half hour after my test. Any thoughts as to why would be appreciated Thanks
