[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2085440, member: 6467"] Following up on my original responses, I've just fitted my first Freestyle Libre blood glucose monitor and I'm seeing some unexpected things. One is that my BG level seems to rise steadily during the day when I'm just having coffee, butter and cream. The second is that if I exercise on the above, my blood glucose continues to climb when I though that it would drop. Third is that when I eat my one meal a day at around 18:00 my BG spikes (not unexpected, although I didn't expect it to go quite as high) but my BG then drops down below the daily (slowly climbing) average and bottoms out around midnight. My BG then starts to slowly climb back up. So I am going to test if a small meal early in the day has the same "boom and bust" effect which then resets my BG to a lower, slowly climbing, level. So I am now considering if a spike first thing will actually be beneficial in my case. I will need a lot more data, but things are not as straightforward as I thought. [/QUOTE]
