[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 78364, member: 8110"] Whatashock The others have told you the right things, may I make another suggestion though? I never test on my fingers. they hurt too much. My finger pricker allows for alternative site testing( check your manual!) always use the inside of my forearm. If using my Freestyle Mini meter, I get enough blood, but if I use the free Contour I got, I need more, so I rub a bit harder. that's the benefit of the Mini. It uses so little blood. As to higher readings Possibly a delay in getting glucosee through into your blood from the extra carbs. If you eat late, you slow things down and if you have a complication called Gastroparesis, you never know how long it takes. [/QUOTE]
