BS readings

Last night I decided to have a 'fry up' for tea and had bacon, fried eggs, a couple of refried new potatoes and about 1/2 a tin of baked beans - risky I know! Mr readings were 5.7 pre, 7.7 @ 1 hr, 7.4 @ 2 hr and 6.4 @ 3 hr. This is the second time that I've had baked beans and got similar results so I'm guessing that I'm probably ok with them.
 
6.4 fasting
5.4 post breakfast unadjusted 44
pre lunch 5.2 undjusted 44
no post as out walking
pre dinner 4.7 unadj 44
 
5.8 fasting on 56
pre breakfast 5.2 on 56
post unadjusted on 44 5.1 ( weird)
pre lunch on 56 and 44 5.4 average- hoovered and washed kitchen floor and made two beds as exercise so nudged up a notch.
5.5 after lunch and washing bathroom floor. Unadjusted 44
5.1 post 25 minutes peddling. Unadjusted 44
pre dinner 5.1 44 unadjusted
Post at 90 mins as wanted to get bath and watch Richard Gere in Pretty woman 5.6

I'm having a bad day. Can't get out of the 6's.

6.1 fasting
6.7 after breakfast
6.0 before lunch

In fact, it hasn't been a good 7 days. Averages on my Codefree 6.5 all readings, on my Accuchek 6.4 all readings. This is up on normal. It was 6.2 last week

7.3 fasting and then 7.4 after breakfast. My fasting results are always pretty high.

Better than the 9.2 its been before though!

Hoping the lchf will kick in properly soon x

This morning fasting was 5.3 (accu chek) and 6.2 (batch 44)
However, an hour after breakfast I was 7.0 on both meters.
This tells me the batch 44 was most likely the correct one for fasting and the Accu chek was too low.

Over the week the Accu chek average is 6.0, the Codefree 44 is 6.3. BUT the week before I started batch 44 my Codefree average was also 6.3. So no difference over a week between previous batch and batch 44. My Accu Chek seems to read significantly lower than my Codefree, all things being equal.

I've finished the cassette on my Accu chek so am now back to using only batch 44.

Hi Bluetit,
Hope you dont mind me asking, do you have shares in Codfree, how many test stripes do you use per day.
 
:hilarious::hilarious: Perhaps I should have shares in Codefree!

I test fasting, bedtime, and before lunch and tea. I also test after each meal at least once. Take no notice of me, this is my way of keeping control.
 
Post lunch 5.9 unadjusted 44 - had a large soy cappuccino and some choc at 1 hr so not a proper reading
Random afternoon one 5.2
No pre dinner but 5.9 at 3 1/2 hrs. Will,no doubt be higher now I as I indulged inside cheese and nuts.
