What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

8.flipping 8:arghh:.
True confessions…. I ate a rather nice home baked sausage roll. Flaky pastry was melt in the mouth delicious. It was self destructive, as I know anything made with wheat flour does the spiky thing to me, and then puts me into a deep sleep. The sleep was refreshing. Better than the leg cramp sleepless nights of late, but not something I will repeat in a hurry.

I am totally confused with readings. Safe AQ = 6.8 mmol & Sinocare safe-accu = 3.1 mol. Can anyone advise me. I am newly diagnosed and taking metformin.

Hi and welcome to the thread. Just a supposition, but to me the 6.8 is probably the more expected result and not bad for someone just starting out on this journey. The 3.1 is quite low but it is not impossible however there is just so much disparity between the results that I suspect that one of them is out of kilter. I wonder is the Safe Accu reading may have been corrupted in some way? Were both sets of strips in date? Maybe there was insufficient blood on the Safe Accu meter to give an accurate reading. Did you do a retest?
