Does anyone else notice that you can have exactly the same meal one day as they day before but your readings are completely different? This has happened to me several times and I find it very frustrating!
Blood Glucose levels will fluctuate from second to second, minute by minute, hour by hour every single day. There are so many variables which can affect the levels........not just foods etc.
Thanks for the reply - lots of good information but still makes me feel like I don't know what I'm doing sometimes. Sure messes with your head when you think you are doing well and the numbers don't come up as you expect them to. At least now I know that it's not my fault all the time. Makes meal planning an adventure doesn't it.
Everybody gets confused at times. It does get easier after a while. There really is no other way but trial and error especially when you are diet only. Work out what meals are good and what are bad. Sometimes just small adjustments to portion sizes make a big difference. Stick at it and keep any questions coming.
