Dont know where that 4.9 came from, most unexpected!
Bare in mind we rely very heavily on these 'glucose testers' to give us acurate results, but I think I'm right in saying they are between + or - 15 to 20% variance. So though we expect accurate I do not believe they are all the time.

The warming of the hands is an interesting one, I test after going for walks in the late evening but often have the opposite effect very cold hands upon return, so I now wonder what effect that has had, never thought!It's a combination of errors, both from the meter, and batch to batch variation of test strips.
I've found mine is repeatable normally, so the inaccuracy seems to be consistent.
I can alter i more by altering myself, be it resting, exercise, warming my hands up, anything that moves blood makes a change.
Ant contamination will as well.

Hands, feet, head whatever - they are all freezing cold since shedding a load of weight. One of the very few negatives to this Newcastle mullarkey.
Good point about the meters. Reading your signature, I have also had the odd double digit spike but after testing my long suffering wife for the 'normal' readings, so had she with the same food/portion size. Just had a piece of brownie from my Graze box so I should get a high 1 hour reading soon......
'Blimey'Lunch readings:
Ham and tomato sandwich on brown 26g carb, 3g sugar + packet of crisps 17.1g carbs and 0.3g sugar, diet Pepsi
1 Hour 6.0
2 Hours 5.8
Hi Hairy Camel, can I ask, what were or your readings like when you were first diagnosed.Neil, this is all very new to me. I have only been introducing these foods in the last few days after finishing my diet a couple of weeks ago. I'm very interested to see if I can have have a 'normal' diet (without the junk food, sweets and beer etc.) going forwards. It would be so much easier to have a bowl of cereal in the morning and a sandwich from the canteen if I could possibly tolerate it.
Having said that, this is why I lost so much weight inspired by Prof. Taylor's findings in the first place.
Upwards and Onwards........
I'm only liking it (sorry) as it gives myself some hope, that once I get the weight 'off' as your figures were somewhat higher than mine, I may be able to achieve the same as you, and try the Brownie rather than the Pistashios.Random test was 18 point something, HBA1C was 77 and fasting on diagnosis was 13.2.
