[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1570628"] Bear in mind there are many things that can affect BG readings. Food is the obvious one: this is usually carbs but some people find with very low carb meals, the protein can cause a bit of a spike. For example, If I have a cheese omelette, I still get a small BG spike. Other things that can affect BG include exercise, illness, stress, drugs, weather, heat and time of day. Some of these we have more control of than others. Therefore, I look for trends rather than one offs - if I eat a meal that unexpectedly causes a spike, I try it again, when I may be less stressed or on a colder day or when I don't have the sniffles, and see if it has the same impact.
