[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2633571, member: 517579"] Agree with [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] . I found my morning readings were the last to come down and the least useful in telling me the impact of what I was eating/doing. It really takes quite a bit of time to train your liver to accept lower bg levels as being OK. Until then it will go on adding glucose by itself. I experimented once and it was still adding glucose at 2pm, eight hours after I'd woken. Your meter has an allowable error of 5% for 95% of readings. That means that a reading of (eg) anything from 5.7 to 6.3 could be based on an actual BG of 6.0, and there's roughly a 1 in 20 chance that it's a totally rogue reading (but those are usually really abnormally high or low in my experience) .

One of things that affects mine is outside temperature. When it's hot, my BG always goes up. Why? don't know. [/QUOTE]
