[QUOTE="garyclark82, post: 2416466, member: 544808"] Hello, me again. Sorry to pester you all with questions but I feel like I am still learning something every day. After getting my blood meter last week, I have tried to test at least once a day (more if I can remember). This morning when I woke up, I took my fasting amount which was 6.4. Two hours after eating my standard breakfast of two butchers sausages (air-fried, no additional oil/spray), three egg omelette with a sprinkling of cheese and a cup of coffee, I tested myself again. Today, my levels had dropped to 6.1. Is that normal? I did this yesterday (6.6, down to 6.2 after three hours). Should I be expecting a rise or a drop or to maintain? When using the blood meter, should I be sticking to one finger for each test (pre/post meal) or one hand in particular? Would this make a difference? I am on a DERIK course tomorrow online ([URL]https://spirit-hub.org/courses/display/252[/URL]) via my GP surgery so hope to be able to learn more without hassling you guys. Thanks [/QUOTE]
