Message: <blockquote data-quote="WilliamEE" data-source="post: 642174" data-attributes="member: 116419">Today I took some readings before lunch.They were 5.2, 4.7 & 4.9For lunch I had smoked salmon with salad (lettuce, cucumber, some greek olives, cappers, capsicum) and an egg. I followed this with 4 dried apricots.My readings one hour later were all over the place ranging from 4.4 to 6.2.Two hours later I had just four readings ranging 5.7 to 5.9.This has got me worried.I did have a hot shower just prior to the 2 hour readings and I have been very very stressed the last 4 or so days. Just seems odd that the readings would go up. However, with everything I read I am beginning to think that the meter I am using which is a few years old is probably not that reliable. I had very low carb lunch so this is really odd.Further to my the beginning of this thread that I started I rang Diabetes Australia the next day and the response I received is that people who are not diabetic (including pre diabetics) should not do home monitoring which I thought was odd.I know the results are accurate but they can be an indicator.</blockquote>
