It could be you are coming down with something, or maybe some underlying stress? Or maybe the berries and cream for supper ..... what about having them straight after your dinner?
My blood glucose level this morning was 6.6.

What's diet mineral water and why does it contain sweeteners. Water is sugar free anyway?Yep they are and I think I just worked out why it jumped to 6.9
I drank two glasses of diet mineral water which contains 950 952 sweeteners just after breakfast so I'm putting it down to that![]()

I see must be the flavouring.
Did you wash your hands before testing. It could be contamination on your finger. Did you test more than once. When I get unusual counts, I wash my hands and retest to make sure it is a valid count ( in broad terms, even if you tested the same finger twice in a row you would not get exactly the same reading).
Also bear in mind that home testing glucose monitors are only accurate to 15%, which gives a range of roughly +\- 1 mmol on a reading of 6,9 mmol

if you enjoy the water, why not test specifically for it. Wait until you take your next 2 hour post meal count and then drink the water and test every fifteen minutes to see if it causes significant increase to your levels. Any dissolved sugar/carbs will enter your bloodstream quickly, that is why I am suggesting such short interval.Hi Pavlos
No I didn't was the hands but I know I should so that's a handy reminder. I'll put it down to an aberration and the flavoured mineral water.
It's back down to 6.0 just now.
