Hello 1970 
Your profile does not help us to help you at all! :roll: :? Perhaps you could put some good information on there and also make another post to let us know what your bg levels are like at other times as well as what you are eating, medications etc.

1970,
A blood glucose reading of 5.5 is excellent. Therefore, should you mean 'funny' as in feeling hypo, there may be a explanation.
As Synonym has said, you havn't give us much to go on here, but lets say that you are normally running high numbers (bg's above normal target range or higher) you may be starting to feel a 'false hypo' coming on at this level due to your usually elevated levels. Hypo's are normally considerd to be 4 or below, but for people that have had bad control and suddenly tighten their control, it can take the body time to adjust to the new lower readings, so should this be the case with you, this could explain things quite clearly.
Should you have any concerns about these episodes, I would suggest you contact your gp or diabetes clinic, remember not everything can be related to diabetes, so if unsure seek advice.

Hi - your after eating testing after 2 hours should be no higher then 8.5 so 8.4 is okay. However, I would, myself that is, want see a lower reading after eating and would take either a smaller portion or look at what it was that I had compared to other foods. You don't say what it was that you had to eat.
After fasting a result of 6.4 looks good - I think but am not 100% sure that anything between 5 to 7 is a good result.
Your making good headway and are getting the right results all the best for carrying on. It is hard work but worth it in the end. Keep in touch with the forum it helps to keep you in line when you start to flag. I love to watch these food programs like the one that on now looking for brtians best dish. some of the meals make your mouth water especially when you watch them eat the sweets! but if at all tempted then a lookk at this forum puts me straight on track
