[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1945289, member: 493719"] Well, can i just establish that when you test, it is only when you first wake..? As you say you test 3 times a week. I understand it like a heart beat resting can be nice and smooth...as is Your BS when you awake. BUT it is when the system is put under pressure the issues become apparent. Running for instance will stress your heart more. and for diabetes, eating carbs tests us more. To take a reading without testing the before eating AND 2 hours after, ignores an activity we do constantly, that WILL have an impact if any part of that ingested food 'Irritates' us... in simple terms we are allergic to carbs, too many OR of the wrong type gives us issues. THAT is what causes the damage, when it is unknown to us..and that is where the raised level become a cause of concern. Once diagnosed i believe it's wise to be aware of what does trigger us, what we don't tolerate so well For clarity i test, say 8 times a day. My meter measures all of those and gives a 7 day, 14 and 30 day average. I started with a HBA1c of 57...= 9.1 mmol currently i run at 6.1 the week and 6.3 the month..hopefully scores that mean my HBA1c IS coming down..<prays> So those markers stated in relation to the HBA1c , are not the 'once in the am' marker, they are an accumulation of the 3 month total of all those meals,snacks & stress, etc that you've encountered. and that is why so many test and try to learn what to avoid and how to keep the peaks as low as possible. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
