[QUOTE="Maggie75, post: 2334925, member: 532798"] Hi everyone, I just started testing my glucose levels with new meter today and I'm slightly confused with results. First one was 9.5 2 hours after eating 2 weetabix with skimmed milk (probably should have expected that). Had 2 scrambled eggs for lunch and reading 2 hours after that was 4 which seemed like quite a big drop. Had a low carb dinner of chicken breast stuffed with light Philadelphia and herbs wrapped in prosciutto with salad with mozzarella and toasted walnuts followed by raspberries and blueberries. Next reading 2 hours after dinner was 4.4 which seems super low, I had to use 5 test strips to get that reading, first one was 1.9 which I knew was wrong. Do these readings seem correct? I'm so confused as to whether I'm doing this right, meter is glucose navii from spirit healthcare. Also any advice on reducing pain of finger pricking? Took me 4 attempts with test after dinner, I was nearly in tears! Guess I'll have to get used to it. Thanks for any advice about this. Maggie x [/QUOTE]
