Tested blood this am after fasting 5.2 decided to see what happened if I tested one hour after breakfast. I ate 2 bacon rashers nothing else and it was 11.2. Shocked me to say the least.

For a prediabetic thats not normal. Were your hands well cleaned ?, would have been worthwhile doing a repeat test, or a follow up test after 2 hours. Did you check out the bacon nutritional data ? new supplier or different brand ?

Hands just washed, same bacon as usual no carbs. tested again about 2.5 hrs after eating the bacon and down to 6.2.
an d half hour later back up to 7.5. appears all over the place today.
 
Hormonal influence ?
Perhaps its best to calibrate your glucometer against a standard test solution to see thats its functioning correctly.
