Thanks @PenguinMum definitley NOT stressed today and not especially worried about that number - just not sure whether to throw meters and strips away or stop testing for a while. Even heart rate and hrs slept are good to go. I am not very trusting but I guess I need to trust the usual numbers come back in December.Ian I am so frustrated on your behalf. Unless you are coming down with something it makes no sense to me. Unless you are getting your self over stressed. Hope things improve for you. Sending hugs.
If you use Codefree @Rachox has a thread about faulty batch of strips. I am not experienced or confident enough to comment on whether to stop testing for a while. Can only send more hugs!Thanks @PenguinMum definitley stressed today and not especially worried about that number - just not sure whether to throw meters and strips away or stop testing for a while.

Sending hugs for your frustrations! I’m ready to throw my meter up the wall and that’s only after a few days of annoying readings!Just tested - fasted for 12-13 hrs - meter wants me to believe a 7. Somewhere along the line something is very wrong - meter, strips, body, diet or all of them. I can eat Panettone and be surprised at that level. Only silver lining is I am not type 1 so no need for insulin corrections.
Thanks for the tag @PenguinMum. Here’s my thread:If you use Codefree @Rachox has a thread about faulty batch of strips. I am not experienced or confident enough to comment on whether to stop testing for a while. Can only send more hugs!
Winner for bg reading but hug for stiff neck and hot arm. (No doubt Mr G thinks all of you is hot - and I am sure he is right)good morning all
3.9 today
bit unexpected that bg reading, I got a flu jab yesterday and the general consensus seems to be that the flu jab puts the bg upwoke up with a stiff neck and a slightly hot arm so perhaps there is time for the rise yet
chilly, wet and windy here this morning. not a prospect of delight for a walk. I think it's going to be a mainly indoor day today.
Hope your day is treating you well
Ha. Bought a Codefree earlier in the year to compare but saw the comments on reliability/variability and decided the last thing I need in my life is more confusionIf you use Codefree @Rachox has a thread about faulty batch of strips.

If you ate and then walked you have 2 sources of stress/bg rise. I have always expected bg rises after exercise and waited an hour or so after before assessing levels. Your mileage may vary as the cool dudes say.Good morning my lovelies, FBG 9.0 at 7.30am and despite a carb free egg n bacon breakfast and just walking a mile in the sunshine and cold, my liver has decided 10.6 is where I’ll be at 10.15am
Sending hugs johnGood morning all, my numbers this morning match the weather, horrible a 14.7, I went to bed on a 4.7! Can some one stop the Train? I want to get off, another day of playing catch the monkey, or putting the genie back in the bottle. Diabetes does nothing other than make us determined.
Take care everyone.
Thank youSending hugs john
Im having the opposite john loads of lows done a few basal tests and they was all fine must be this weather (moving more to keep warm haha)Thank you
My readings are up and down for no discernable reason, probably just because they can!! And on a more positive note "Winter is Here"Im having the opposite john loads of lows done a few basal tests and they was all fine must be this weather (moving more to keep warm haha)
Do you have another meter as a control.Just tested - fasted for 12-13 hrs - meter wants me to believe a 7. Somewhere along the line something is very wrong - meter, strips, body, diet or all of them. I can eat Panettone and be surprised at that level. Only silver lining is I am not type 1 so no need for insulin corrections.
