What makes the DP stop then - eating breakfast?
I woke up and forgot to test and at 11.00 I was - 6.1
Just eaten breakfast lets see....
Before - 6.1
After scrambled eggs/bacon on 8carbs of livlife toast
0.5 Hours - 6.9
1.0 Hours - 7.3
1.5 Hours - 6.6
2.0 Hours - 6.1
I does not seem to stop after eating for me
but if I wait till 5pm with just coffee it will go to 5.6
Dunno why I did this really - given meters can be 20% out (+/-10%) all seems illogical and infuriating
hehehehe
I did once read somewhere (can't remember where) that if you are a "morning person" ie. you wake up and are alive and kicking, energetic and wide awake all morning, then you have a naturally bigger DP. If, like me, you are dozy and incapable of much thought in the mornings, you have naturally less DP.
I was wondering if anyone had noticed a Summer/Winter difference in the DP.
I have a tendency to wake up with the dawn, about 4.30 at the moment, but don't get up until the alarm goes at 6.30 just dosing in between, or having odd thought going through my head like this morning. In winter I find it very hard to wake up at 6.30 while it is still dark, (I got one of those dawn simulator alarm clocks to try and help), but I was wondering if my body wanted to wake at 4.30 would that be when my DP kicked in and in winter I would be up before it happened.
I've not been testing for long, so I was wondering if any of you long term tested had noticed any difference.
I don't want to try testing at 4.30 as with out my contact lenses in I am pretty much blind and sharp stabby things aren't a wise idea.

and where a bouts is the " new you in 42 " please. thanks
I had asked a question about DP and was directed to this thread. I read it all the way through last night and found it quite illuminating.
I have only been testing for 3 weeks but consistently get early morning reading in the eights.
I decided late last night to have some peanut butter on celery.
My reading this morning was 5.5!!!!!!! I am staggered, coincidence or what?
I had asked the question whether going 12 hours from evening meal to morning test was too far, have I answered my own question?
Was it the peanut butter or that fact that I ate something at 2300?
Had peanut butter again just before bed last night and this morning 6.2.
Not as good as the 5.5 but still a massive improvement.
Need to order peanut butter in bulk!!
