[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2408610, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=543834]@Sydneyhorn[/USER] As said, a great start Numbers looking GOOD Both [USER=155453]@catinahat[/USER] & [USER=368709]@Goonergal[/USER] making great points Well done you for doing all the right things I thought the best use of the meter for me was to spot trends. Particularly that morning one. I too had drops like that, rather unexpected, then the next days would be higher again, But week by week the average dropped, so the odd one out became the highs, then by the next few weeks, the pattern returns until I got from average 8's down to the 5's on a daily basis each morning Much like a temperature chart , with highs & lows..it helped me track my averages as the seasons changed, sort of. As for food, we want the difference between pre food and then 2 hours later ( which is where we'd expect our BG levels to be coming down, IF we didn't have T2D, I believe) However I have seen & read that some foods may have a quicker spike or even an extended one, So we COULD miss that 2 hour window spike, for some foods but it is generally 2 hours & test, that seems standard So it was a useful tool for me daily, but it also helped reassure me, I was on the right track, as I whittled down the bad food list for that weeks / months chart as I matched towards a better HBA1c. Sounds like you are headed very much in the tight direction. Good luck on your journey :) [/QUOTE]
