[QUOTE="niblue, post: 2603059, member: 570709"] I decided to do a little bit more testing to see what my levels were during the day. Just before dinner last night I tested at 5.4, which is the lowest I've seen so far however I hadn't eaten for about 8 hours at that point as I'd been travelling. That also meant I had dinner quite late as well (9pm or so) which might have contributed to a slightly higher reading (compared to the last few days) of 8.1 first thing this morning. Just before lunch today I tested again and was 7.8 (that would have been about 3 hours after a breakfast of greek yoghurt, milled chia seeds and some other mixed seeds - 291 calories and 12g of carbs). 2 hours after lunch and a 40 minute leisurely walk with one of the dogs) I tested at 6.8 (lunch was salad, chicken, olives, coleslaw and a little ceasar salad dressing - 368 cals and 7g of carbs). Not entirely sure what that's telling me though - especially as I don't think there were any foods in there that were likely to cause a spike. It's down a fair bit since the last time I tested at similar points, which was about 3 weeks back and was 12.7 first thing in the morning, 9.8 before lunch, 11.8 2 hours after lunch (which was a frittata with 24g of carbs) and then down to 9.3 pre-dinner.
