Hi I just did 4 tests there 2 were 5.7 one was 4.7 and one was 5.3 mmol why are they different? Also I've been doing low carb for last couple of weeks pretty much stuck to it but my readings were low 5s now when I do it it seems to be higher 5s each I don't get can anyone put me at ease today I ate 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and lunch I had chicken thighs and a jar of pickled cockles sorry for the long question just getting me down a bit
 
Are you having balanced low carb eating? Are you having any veg?
Blood levels don't just up n down because of eating but for simple things like shopping (because of the walking) say, having a lie in, going to work, or feeling ill etc even if you test at the same time with the same food for 7 days you would get different readings.

You need really to be testing more...
 
I've tested a fair bit o know these figures are within normal range but little confused
