[QUOTE="rainbow fish, post: 7877, member: 6599"] HI also keep in mind (its hard, i struggle with it too) is that the monitor is not a perfect instrument and while it is useful for showing you a trend, its not perfect. The after breakfast readings may not be so different if one was a bit higher than reality and one a bit lower. I also eat the exact same breakfast every day with often bizarrely different results, the doctor explained to me that there are also factors of how fast your digestion is working that day, if and when you've been to the toilet etc etc. I had blood taken this week and the precise laboratory reading was 2.4 mmol lower than my monitor, which apparently is a common variation. I need to repeat the test at the next round of testing to see if the variation is consistent... meanwhile will start investigating which monitors are the MOST accurate! Good luck with getting everything on track :-) [/QUOTE]
