Don't forget that meters have a +/- 20% accuracy range. Your reading could have been a 4.3, or 6.2!
Maybe but if I'm out of my 4.7 to 5.1 fasting band, without good reason (e.g. illness), I'm not extatic
Bonjour@Baruney, no, I don't mind you asking - it was 201/102 my pulse rate was 48. When I get up in the morning, these days, it is usually about 184/95 and my pulse rate is about 56.
Last year, and up to February, it was perfectly normal, 125/72 and my pulse was usually 64-70.
At first I thought it might be a consequence of weight loss, but now I don't know.
I do a fair bit of exercise, but even then, the BP is still what I consider to be high, at144/90
I wonder if your raised BP was in direct response to the 4.4 - that for me would be uncomfortably low and if you're heading towards a hypo, it would possibly raise your BP as your body is stressed - my heart races like mad when going hypo - due to the release of adrenalin. Was it still high later when your BG was higher?
Do you use an inexpensive home BP device? I have a wrist one and it's useless. Weight loss is supposed to improve BP. Was pleased with mine at my appraisal yesterday - 128/70 even though I had walked for 25 minutes to get to the surgery and I had sat down for barely 30 seconds before being summoned to the consulting room!
Hi @Croc do you meant the 7 fasting or the 8.9 after bread?
Yes that does seem high especially as your pulse is so low but, unfortunately, that's about as far as my knowledge goes. Take care of yourself until you can get to the bottom of it. Are you off to the docs for a second appraisal?Bonjour@Baruney, no, I don't mind you asking - it was 201/102 my pulse rate was 48.

Phew. Just out of interest which one are you using as I'm going to change mine soon.Sorry, I'm actually not referring to the variance, it was a rhetorical question, co's I'm usually below 6.0
Yep, I've heard that those blue ***** flyes aren't particularly helpful for bs control.The 7 was the morning fasting. Two small toast and then walking to and from work and running around like a blue ***** fly while I was there and 6 and a half hours later with nothing else to eat and my BS was 8.9. A couple of weeks ago the same routine was giving.readings under 6.
Asda often have the Omron M2 at £10. If it goes back up to £20, wait and it will be back down soon!Do you use an inexpensive home BP device? I have a wrist one and it's useless. <snip>
