[QUOTE="Deleted member 567281, post: 2579320"] Thank you for your reply. It's always worth putting things into context and examining them from different perspectives. I'm definitely getting a CGM once my HbA1c is confirmed. You're right, it's total guess work otherwise. It's also possible that different people react differently as our metabolism, hormones, lifestyles and indeed diabetic conditions are so different. What is suitable for one person, may not be suitable for others. Interestingly, yesterday I managed to fast past midday and only had two meals (plus a very small banana in between for my commute home) but my levels were higher than on the days when I had several snack-sized meals (on average 5.7 vs 5.1). The overall carb content would have been similar on both days. Yes, I realise I need more data and experiments! Yesterday was also a more stressful day, so that could be a contributing factor.
