whipsiddery19.png I've attached a chart of my Waking Blood Glucose (SD Codefree Meter) since I bought one a week after T2 diagnosis.

The dip at the right of the plot coincides exactly, start to finish, with my week break into a holiday apartment to escape last week's freeze. All the rest of the chart was spent in my unheated home with the rooms between 5°C and 10°C, the period covering the dip was at a more comfortable 18°C.

Can that ambient temperature shift really bring blood glucose down by 1 mmol/L or is this just a coincidental blip? I don't think there was any difference in sleeping pattern, diet or exercise.

Any observations on that or the pattern in general would be welcome.

Could it be that you were more relaxed on holiday? I find that stress raises my blood sugars.
 
How did you fit the curve? A straight line at 6 mmol/L seems just as valid.
 
@Rachox, I'm too old to get stressed. But yes, it may be what happened.

@Mr_Pot - it's not my curve, it's a report from cronometer.com based on my daily log. If it were a share price graph I'd have got worried when it dipped.
