5.2 this morning. Second day of testing a new glucose meter, using old and new in parallel at present, proving interesting!

The boy scouts coined the term 'bob a job week' and I remember doing that way into the '60s, got paid a shilling (bob) to cut the grass or clean the car

Been away in remote rural retreat. Fresh air, some walking. Lots of sleep, the deep refreshing sort of sleep. Cough and sore throat are almost gone.

Fasting levels have all been low 6s. For a week.

On this day in 1941 Roy Plomley woke up with an idea for a new radio program approached the BBC with the idea and the first of the Desert Island Discs programs was broadcast a few months later.

6.1 for me this morning. Not sure where this came from, maybe DP. although felt a little "off" when I woke up this morning. Days average was 5.0 yesterday. Still testing using both meters. Results showed 1 test 5.1, 3 others 6.0/6.1. It really confuses me that the same drop of blood can show such variance when it hits the test sticks. Have a good Sunday everyone.

Different meters have different error levels and tolerances then there are slight differences in test strips and the blood drop itself though tiny can be different within the droplet and the small amount of time between tests will alter the blood as well.

It's a dynamic process which will never give exactly the same result two times in a row.
