[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1785178, member: 429870"] To further your investigations, I suggest that you try to pinpoint the time when your bg after a meal peaks, and when it has fallen back again. To do this you would test just before eating, then at 1 hour and 2 hours. If your bg rose at 1 hour and then fell by 2, fine. But if you see no rise or even a fall after eating, as you describe, it may well be that your stomach was slow emptying. I suggest that in that case you retest at 3 hours and even 4. You will understand that if your pre-meal was 5.3 and the food you had eaten stayed undigested in your stomach, your bg would fall just as if you had not eaten. This delayed stomach emptying is called gastroparesis and it is unpredictable. I suffer from it in a mildish way and it does make testing difficult. I have just bought two Libre sensors for continuous testing and am looking forward to using them to see exactly what is going on. You can read much more about gastroparesis here: [URL]http://www.diabetes-book.com/gastroparesis-causes-effects/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
