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...
