[QUOTE="Mauriac, post: 2308904, member: 530254"] Well, I'm confused. My morning fasting BGs are always between 7 and 8.5 - usually high 7s - low 8s. Today, at 08.40, using the last strip from my Sinocare machine I had 6.1 and then, because I didn't believe it, I did two on my Gluco RX and the readings were 5.7 and 5.5. What's going on? I never have readings that low, especially in the morning. I've only been on a low carb diet for 10 days so my glucose tolerance can't have improved that much surely. To add tot he confusion, I've just done 3 more tests (at 10 past 12) having only had a coffee with almond milk and a teaspoon of cream (0.3g of carbs) 3 hours ago and the readings had gone up to 6.5 then 7.0 and then 7.1. Does this sound normal please? The very low early morning readings seem odd and for them to have gone up by about 1.5 points after several hours of not eating I just don't understand at all. Any thoughts gratefully received! Setting of to the restaurant now so I'll see what that brings. [/QUOTE]
