Yes, it can vary from the same drop of blood from the same finger ! Treat these readings as a guide, don't worry about the odd dodgy reading. The meters have a tolerance of up to 15% or so.

Does the C Peptide test not show this ? Whatever the reason, it's working :-) Nice work Dave. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

The kitchen sales are removed as soon as poss and the other stuff is driven by members. As for the introduce yourself thing, that's optional, just ignore it if you like :-) If I done everything the internet proposed I should do, I wouldn't have time for anything else. Sent from the Diabetes...

8.8 and 11.5 are actually within 15% tolerances. 8.8 could actually be 7.4-10.2 and 11.5 could be between 10.0 and 13.0 approx ! Good advice from others though, if you get a reading you think is odd, wash a re-test. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

What's your normal dose now Dave on a "quiet" day ? Could still be honeymoon but that's a long time now. May just go to show the huge benefit of exercise ? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

7 feels like a hypo because your body is used to those high BG levels ! As you begin to get these lower, these hypo symptoms at 7 should disappear and return in the 3's and 4's. It may take a little time. In the meantime, if you feel terrible at 7, have a biscuit or something but try not to over...

Hi Martin and welcome to the forum. Short answer, Don't know, sorry. It could be either. My guess would be late onset T1 and honeymoon phase but that really is nothing more than a guess. The good news is that your new consultant is conducting the correct tests go determine diagnosis. The GAD...

Hi Kieran, welcome to the forum. I'm from Cambs area, you ?

Hi Rachel and welcome to the forum. I hope you're seeing your doc over losing feeling in foot ? Pretty sure there are many here that are or have struggled with their control. Maybe we can help a little. Can you provide more info ? BG levels ? Diet etc ? Take care, Mo

There is usually a wide range of food on offer at these all inclusive hotels in Turkey. As others have said, you can get a good estimate on certain foods or you can stick with foods that you know you are OK with and have at home. If anything, under estimate carb content rather than risk hypo...
