[QUOTE="ixi1429, post: 1699917, member: 465579"] I know a lot of people test every day but while I tend to test fairly regular I don't do it eveyr day - probably about 4/5 days a week. It depends on you and how much you want to track your BG. I test for fasting about 2-3 times a week and if I decide to "test" foods. If I am eating a "standard" meal - one I have eaten a number of times - I don't feel the need to test as I already know the results. (NB I may try porridge tomorrow as I am planning a walk of 5-7 miles) I also test after exercise. This lets me see what impact, if any, the food/exercise has. The metres are not 100% accurate and do have variances. you should google yours to see what the variance is. Alternatively the rouge result could be just that an anomaly - sometimes my BG has gone to 3 or up to 6.5/7 and I have no idea why. Its the human body, sometimes it just does stuff and we don't know why. [/QUOTE]
