Evening everyone

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced erratic blood glucose readings, and is this nirmal? Today I started off fasting bloods 6.9, then after breakfast was 7.1. Before lunch I then went down to 3.9 then after lunch was 8.9, before evening meal 4.3 then afterwards went down hypo to 2.8. Managed to get back up to 7.5 after few jelly babies and slice of toast. I am on pioglitazone 5mg once day and gliclazide 80mg twice a day. My diet has not changed ate all foods I have had today on previous occasions, no more exercise than usual and no stress a day at home today. I know most results are within quite a normal range but very erratic and no pattern. I have only been testing a few weeks, is this normal?
 
No-one answered yet? I think everyone's busy, this being Saturday night. You will get an answer soon I hope x
 
It's probably the glicizide.
Have a word with your GP.
