[QUOTE="Yogamommy5, post: 1421176, member: 377828"] Hi, I was only diagnosed 2 months ago. I have an old meter from when I had pre-diabetes a year-and-a-half ago. The strips are 6 months out of date but I opened up a new package and tried to take a reading. I did eat something I probably shouldn't have which is fried plantains and I was expecting a spike as it has been about 90 minutes. So I was only a little surprised to see a high reading of 9.9. After this I decided to test this meter by getting out my new meter (a different brand) and I got a reading of 10.7 my highest reading ever. The only time I got a 10.2 was after eating a full order of fries. So I took two more readings with my new meter on different fingers and they were 8.6 and 9.7. Is there something wrong with my meters? I know my reading should be high but why all this variation? This morning I got an 8.4 and for the last three mornings I've been getting 8.4 to 8.8 and I've been surprised by that. I usually average around 7 in the morning before eating breakfast. [/QUOTE]
