[QUOTE="andcol, post: 1106751, member: 96315"] welcome to the forum. A reading of 17 is not normal, but does not mean there is anything necessarily broken. Really you should never go above 11.5 according to the literature. Just a question or two (sorry I am nosey) 1. Did you wash your hands before the test with normal soap or an alcohol based soap or not at all. 2. A 10 minute reaction seems a pretty fast; could you have been heading there before the sweets? 3. Meters can give rouge readings and their 95 percentile is a tolerance of +-15% did you retest this reading? If not can I suggest you retest your experiment (I know it made you feel rubbish but just do it for science). Additional can I suggest you test every 10 minutes to get your blood glucose profile. Finally, yes it is something you should discuss with your Doctor Edit: Just wanted to add don't stop at 2 hours keep it going for longer (not 10 minute intervals of course) and see how fast/far you go down [/QUOTE]
