[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2423832, member: 480869"] Fingerpricks for meals are relevant in themselves for the starting point, the rise and the end point. A good pre meal reading, a rise of less than 2mmol and post meal below 8 are all good indicators. On a keto diet the <2mmol rise should be fairly easy to achieve so it’s just the start and end points that show how you’re going. Averaging them over meals/days doesn’t help much, other than maybe as an indicator of what your hba1c might be like if you have enough data points. I can’t make much sense of the numbers you’ve attached or what they relate to I’m afraid. People on keto can sometimes be effected by adapative glucose sparing aka physiological insulin resistance. It’s not a problem but does give slightly raised fasting readings while on keto, but the overall improved blood glucose profile the rest of the day keeps hba1c at good levels. Eating more carbs removes this phenomenon. People usually carb up before OGTT or HOMA tests to avoid this as a confounding factor. [/QUOTE]
