7.4 this morning, whether that is due to a general drop or the fact I was munching bits of cheese while getting the lunches ready before testing.
Thanks - I hadn't recalled your testing regime.I am a manic tester. I test during the night, as soon as I wake and through the day. - it gives me great graphs, hardened fingers and costs a fortune - at least my gp gives me 100 strips a month, but I have to buy loads more.
When I wake the bg is on the way up from about 2-3am in the morning, sometimes even earlier. I don't do breakfast. I did try eating some nuts when I woke to see if it delayed my rising level any more - it didn't.
I am unable to get a constant fasting level at the moment - my bg is always on the way up or down. Crazy. But one day it will settle.
You could happily test in the kitchen, bedroom or elsewhere.I can test straight off on a weekend and I do, (well I did last weekend and I've only been testing for a week) but on week days I have to be in and out of the bathroom quickly so my OH can use it while I get lunch and breakfast ready. A few extra minutes in the bathroom seems to throw our whole schedule to pot. At the moment I am more worried about general trends than absolutes so its not a problem as long as I keep comparing like with like.
Blimey - your hands and feet must be protesting like mad, or is that easing off, with the (apparent ?) frequency of these lower scores?4.6 yesterday and 4.8 this morning

Are you still on a modified upwards carb reduced, not too much fat diet?
Oh yes. Fingerless gloves are the way forward: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-MENS-...7679348?pt=UK_Gloves&var=&hash=item20c5372674yes cold hands and feet. They are like that all day except for the couple of hours straight after lunch and dinner. My Diet has stayed the same for the last couple of weeks although maybe a little more rice when I have it. I haven't increased my fat but nor have I reduced it.
Possibly but For the last fortnight I only test 3 times a day just to keep an eye out - when I get up, just before my main meal and 2 hours after main meal. I am confident in my numbers based on the pain in my toes (shouldn't jest really)
