I am hoping that this will be of help to people going through exactly what you describe.

Hi I am also going to tag @Lamont D Maybe he has some thoughts on those large swings in BS.

My contour next is bang on the lab reading. Next time you go for bloods take your meter with you and test immediately before they draw blood. This will tell you how close your meter is and you can adjust from there. Also the batch of strips you use can make a difference. For some of us...
