BS readings

Vit, those readings are excellent and perfectly within non-diabetic range. We can't all see 4's all the time. You will see some soon. It takes a bit of time sometimes. Try some breakfast when you get up and before you exercise. Don't test immediately you finish exercise. Leave it an hour. Our livers can kick in during exercise.

Breakfast at 8.30, half an hour of weights at 10.30, lunch at 1.20PM and tested just before: 5.2. Not yet a 4 but a bit better than the 5.5s I have come to expect.
 
I know the cold can affect blood pressure but does it affect blood sugar? I work at home and am quite hardy so I don't usually put the heating on during the day. Exercise and hot drinks are usually enough :) (though I think I may be experimenting with home made soup tomorrow!). Today was rather chilly and before I did my lunch time test I was feeling the cold - would the result have been better otherwise?

Who knows! I do know that some of us saw slightly raised levels during the spell of very hot weather in the summer. Yu must be very hardy not to have your heating on today.

Our house is a lot better insulated than when we bought it over 20 years ago, but it's true that I don't feel the cold as much as the female family members (I'm the only bloke living here! :)) What knocks me for six is dampness, either humidity in summer or wet weather in winter. I love cold dry conditions and considering I am half southeast Asian, it's a bit surprising, even to me!
 
I can't get out of the 6's today

6.1 fasting
6.5 at 2hrs after brekkie
6.1 before lunch
6.0 after 2hrs

Is it the cold, or these new strips (batch 44), or is it just me. :eek:

Weird I get a relatively low result today and yours are higher than normal!
