[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1144815, member: 220230"] I also find the level of activity after eating also affects me. I've always thought my symptoms were purely the result of a fast spike and fast drop but this isn't always so in my case. Sometimes my meal barely raises me at all, therefore within an hour my levels can be 5.0 (with a similar drop to what you've experienced today) and I'm feeling like a hypo is looming. The Libra will help identify if that is happening with you. Also, I'm finding that no two days are the same. Yesterday I had a fast spike and drop (within an hour) after breakfast which in my case includes approx 25g carbs. Today, the same breakfast hardly spiked me at all and the drop was steady. The only difference was that I slept better last night and this morning wasn't quite as stressed and frantic. We're all different and you need to work out what's best for you and your lifestyle. Some days you get weird readings and symptoms and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. As Nosher said, eating every 2-3 hours should help. Good luck with the Libra, I hope you find it useful. I've had a couple of odd low readings that have been 1-1.5mmol lower than my blood glucose monitor measured. Try to go a little by how you feel as well. [/QUOTE]
