Totally agree re the short walk although its a puzzle why a long walk will put sugars up but a short walk will bring them down. I suspect its the same for me re activity. I know my bloods go up when I first walk downstairs on a morning, but only for a couple of minutes or so, before dropping down again.
I can't do a reading until I've been to the loo and then sat in a chair for at least 10 mins (my fingers do not like giving up blood so I need to persuade them using gravity). I am resigned to never getting a true "first thing" reading.A 5.7 for me this morning. I've been having trouble getting that first out of bed reading. Something always happens so by the time I want to take it I've been moving about too much.

11.0 for me after two loo trips and a mug of (unsweetened) tea, it's been between 10.5 and 11.0 for 5 of the last 6 days.
Unfortunately I appear to be a very difficult bleeder. The only things that have worked for me so far are keeping super hydrated and keeping my hand below my knees, and even then it only works 2/3 of the time. The need for hydration is another reason I can't test until I've drunk my teahave you tried holding the hot mug for a couple of minutes? that should help blood get flowing
Imho it's better to be consistent with measuring and relaxed, so if that what works for you, carry on. At least you'll know you will be comparing like with like.I can't do a reading until I've been to the loo and then sat in a chair for at least 10 mins (my fingers do not like giving up blood so I need to persuade them using gravity).
