[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2393047, member: 41816"] I know you think you understand what I am getting at, but I still think you are missing the point. All the various fluctuations in blood glucose are normal. Getting up, washing, etc. etc. It makes absolutely no difference what your lifestyle is, or how low your bed is to the floor. Your normal is different from my normal, and we can each learn tremendously useful things from our own normals and trends. Of course you can spot trends - if you want to. Of course you can use blood glucose tests to track your progress - if you want to. Incidentally, if you are interested in finding the lowest reading of the day, that is usually, for unmedicated T2s, late afternoon until before the evening meal. In which case, measuring the highest fasting reading (which you seem to trying to avoid) and comparing it with your lowest reading (late afternoon), is another very useful snippet of information, because it gives you a good indication of the extent of your insulin resistance. You could do it to compare before and afters for one of your juice fasts. That would be interesting too, wouldn't it? To actually measure if, for you, your insulin resistance reduces. But remember, if you choose not to test, no one is forcing you to. It is your choice. It just means that a very useful tool won't be in your diabetes management tool box. [/QUOTE]
