[QUOTE="sugardaddy777, post: 373339, member: 67502"] This morning I tested my BG and meter gave me 113 mg/dl. Wanting to reach the normal level (just to feel good about my morning plus it was 2 hours too early for my regular breakfast) I killed two hours net surfing without food, stress. Not even water. Instead of getting a lower reading, I was shocked because it went up to 164 mg/dl. Just to double check, I loaded up another test strip and pricked my finger anew. This time I got 147 mg/dl. Lower but still closer to 164 than 113 so I did a third test to re-confirm. Then I got 143 mg/dl. My questions are, how did i get 113 in the first place when my BG was high? Or, why did it go up if my fasting period was longer? These are my suspicions: 1. On the first test, i didn't prick my finger deep enough and had to repeatedly squeeze my finger for more blood to drop on the strip. Did that affect the outcome? 2. My stomach was begging for breakfast during the 2-hr. extention. Could it be possible that my liver released glucose as I got slightly weak because of hunger? But fasting for 12 hours is better than 10 hours, no? 3. Is it time to get a new test kit? Hi all, I am new in this virtual community and would appreciate a reply coming from an expert or from someone who had the same experience. Please, no guesses as it would only confuse me all the more, i hope you understand. I thank you in advance. Happy to be a member. :wink: [/QUOTE]
