I've been doing well on my BG readings recently. Saying I'm only four weeks since diagnosis with a BG of 20, I'm now generally 5.x to 8.x. Had a fright today getting 10.1 after lunch having been 6.9 before. Was worried because I had some homemade burgers (not made by me) that I didn't know what was in them, but still thought this was a huge jump. Not seen numbers like that in two weeks.
Back down to 6.1 before dinner, and 5.4 two hours after eating that (it was pretty well zero carb). So I'm pretty sure it was some kind of glitch. I'm pretty careful with hand washing so don't think it was contamination.
So, community, thoughts? Faulty strip? The fact I'd been working outside and got really cold hands the two hours before the post lunch reading? Or just one of those things to not worry about unless the same happens the next time my MiL sends me a food parcel?
