[QUOTE="TooManyCrisps, post: 1079158, member: 244689"] I am relatively new to testing, and am still trying to work out what raises my blood sugar, so am testing pre and post every meal. Today I tested at 12.30, just before I planned to eat my lunch. It was 6.1. However, I then had to go and deal with a work crisis which meant that I didn't eat as planned, and ended up in a meeting for over an hour. So just before I finally ate lunch, I tested again at 13.45, thinking bg would have dropped further as I hadn't eaten since 7am, only to get a reading of 7.3. I retested in case it was an anomoly, but the second reading was 7.4. So, why would my bg rise at lunchtime when I hadn't eaten? Did my liver dumping more glucose into my bloodstream because I didn't eat lunch at the usual time, and if so, why? I'm used to getting a higher reading after exercise, even when I haven't eaten, but all I did was sit in a meeting. :( [/QUOTE]
