Hi all,
So I'm a bit confused.. It's my first day of testing religiously so please bare with haha.. had brunch earlier (bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms and a crumpet). Tested before the meal and sugar was 9.7 (not long had cuppa tea - maybe it was the milk?) anyway 2 hours after I test again and the levels are 7.9 and I think wow that's not bad at all. So I double check with a different finger 9.1.. not liking the difference between the 2 I go back to the first finger and test again.. 9.7 and then again with the same sample and its 10.4!!! I'm using the SD codefree. Is it the meter or is it me doing something wrong? Which reading do I go with and should I perhaps invest in a better meter?
So many questions I'm sorry.
Thank you - Zoe xx
