[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2215666, member: 6467"] Noting that you can't really predict your BG throughput the day when only testing 3 times a day. Option 1 - do a short testing campaign through a couple of days testing every couple of hours to estimate how your BG fluctuates. This doesn't cover what happens during the night. Option 2 - assuming you have a smart phone with NFC - splash out around £48 on a Freestyle Libre and wear that for a couple of weeks. This should give you a 24 hour continuous profile (as long as you read at least every 8 hours) which will give you a much more detailed understanding of how your body works over a 24 hour period. I have found that despite Bullet Resistant Coffee (butter and cream but no coconut) my BG rises steadily from about 06:00 to 12:00. Vigorous exercise spikes it higher. After that my BG drops quite rapidly and I can eat stuff in the afternoon which would spike me n the morning. I'm not sure that finger pricks alone would have given me this picture. [/QUOTE]
