[QUOTE="knackered, post: 1240969, member: 59811"] Is it actually worth taking a reading until your system has warmed up and got going? It seems like a waste of a test strip to test at a time when levels are known to be changing upwards from a low level. Instead of a fasting test, if done on waking, it seems more like a 'post laying down a lot' test. If it is normal for the body to increase blood sugar levels upon waking (and if you have the time in the morning) why not wait say an hour, and do a 'my system is now awake test'. I'm just getting to know the Libralink and I take a scan as soon as I wake, then do four of five scans over the next hour or so which all increase a lot. So what do I take as the fasting reading, 7.5 on waking or 11.1 a little later? I don't get the value of this information:confused: [/QUOTE]
