If you haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary for you, hopefully it's just a one-off @Tim55. I presume you tested again to double check. If I get a "rogue" reading, I wash my hands thoroughly & re-test. It's amazing just how often the numbers come up much lower. It drives you nuts when these unexpected readings happen, huh!! The joys of diabetes.

4.9 This morning the lowest yet (and a late night bowl of strawberries) - although doing some research last night - some of those that some deem "bad" fruits are actually believed to be good blood glucose levellers - as are onions which apparently can work as well as insulin - not that they should replace it for obvious reasons - apart from the obvious - the other reason is you might loose a few friends lol)
But back on a serious note - it only hit me today that the times I'm testing differ quite a bit and it does seem that the earlier I test - the lower the scores on the door are - we are not talking massive differences in time or numbers - nevertheless - they are definitely there - interesting - I need to try picking a fixed time for a few days and see what difference (if any) it makes.

Took your advice AlisonJane. Washed hands, re-tested - behold! FBG 5.8 10mins laterIf you haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary for you, hopefully it's just a one-off @Tim55.
