[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2633557, member: 480869"] Lower numbers after meals. That can be for a few reasons. It might still be falling from the previous meal/event that caused a rise. Eating a very low carb meal doesn’t raise it much at all so it continues dropping from the earlier one. It shows that the meal you just ate was great for not causing you trouble. Sometimes if we eat a higher carb meal unexpectedly having been low carb then the body can overshoot on insulin trying to combat it and actually take us lower than our normal. Not a strategy to be repeated deliberately as that would become normal quickly and thus accepted and a new “normal” and levels would overall rise. [/QUOTE]
