[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2133949, member: 507939"] Same meter and strip type. I have a new package of strips but was still getting lower reading when I first opened the package. I have another meter that I sometimes check my regular meter against. The readings on both meters aren’t the same but the trend seems consistent. (First was down and now is up again). I have noticed that higher protein effects my fasting blood sugar. Beef effects it more than fish or vegetable protein. In the past, if I ate beef for dinner, the next day fasting would be higher, but then go back down the following day. This week has been different. I have had four days with readings over 90 mg/dL in a row. I am not so concerned with some reading in the low 90s, but the trend is up. I am also not seeing my blood sugar drop as much with exercise. For a while since I started testing, exercise would drop my blood sugar into the low 80s to mid 70s. (A couple times into the high 60s.) Recently I have been in the high 80s or low 90s also after exercise. What macro nutrient targets do you set to maintain good BG readings? [/QUOTE]
