[QUOTE="MikeTheFid, post: 1687557, member: 468265"] Thanks for your welcome. I am a testing neophyte. I have come to understand there is a technique as you rightfully pointed out. The real motivation is really to familiarize myself with how my BG fluctuates during the day and how different foods affect it. My last A1C was 10.4. and by my measurements, my average BG for the period Jan 19 - 31 was 8.14. It was only in the latter days of the month that I followed your protocol of FBG (1st thing in the am, at mealtime and 2 hours post-meal.) For what it's worth, here is the chart for that period: [ATTACH=full]25092[/ATTACH] I am pleased that the average has dropped by roughly 2 points, but that is because I am measuring and being diligent about my carb intake. In addition to the carb-intake awareness, I have also been drinking 2 to 3 litres of water per day and going for a minimum 1 hour walk. I intentionally include hills in my walk to increase my heart rate and build up my stamina. When the weather turns warmer and the snow is gone, I intend to alternate between running and walking every other day. [/QUOTE]
