[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2302706, member: 527609"] Awful day today, figures-wise. I went out to meet a friend and tested when I got back. Initially got an 8.5, and when I retested because I thought that must be an over-read, got a 9.0. I then washed my hands thoroughly, dried with a paper towel and tested again to get a 7.5. All of this before breakfast. 4 Atkins crispbreads for lunch (with butter and chorizo) for a total of less than 10g of carbs, and 2 hours later, I'm showing a 7.6. I haven't had figures anything like these since going low carb, unless I was experimenting to see what I could get away with. I did have quite a few beers over the weekend, but I've had more on previous ones. The only other thing it might be is a bottle of no added sugar orange pop that I've been drinking, but even that only has 6g of carbs in the entire bottle. I've also slept rather badly (going to bed around 10pm, waking up around 3am, and not being able to get back to sleep) so maybe that's related. [/QUOTE]
