[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1767459, member: 85785"] I think the last reading is a rogue reading. It could be a number of things, just to give you an idea, Not or washing hands, Drying hands, Different finger or hand, Time of day, Portion size, Different ingredients or sides, Different packet of strips, finger prickers. As you see, it can vary, it is also skewed by what part of the month, hormonal stuff, wether you have a cold, mood, stress! A rogue reading can throw you out! It is not an exact science! However, what you are looking for is a bit of uniformity, a detailed diary of food, portion, and wether you are two mmols higher than your pre meal reading. One of the things you are looking for is trends, if you notice that the same portion is more or less the same, then you are not doing enough to reduce either your weight, fat threshold, your insulin resistance, your blood glucose levels. If as your good readings show, your are getting regular readings around normal levels, then you have that control, and you can start introducing some carbs, but you must still test to see if your blood glucose readings are stable. Your body likes stability. Your body doesn't like foods that spike you. Don't be too hard on yourself, you seem to be doing okay! You must be doing something right! [/QUOTE]
