[QUOTE="mark4785, post: 618473, member: 27997"] It could be that your meter provided you with an erroneous result of 1.7. Meters can usually do this if you don't fill the strip completely with blood or if the strip gets contaminated in some way. Additionally, when you wake in a morning, you may feel quite groggy and it may take a while to get going. If this is the case, it might be that your body was using more glucose up to do basic things like putting a t-shirt on, walking, pulling a bin etc. If you want to achieve some awareness regarding what your blood sugar trend is over a given time I'd highly advice that you do 2 blood tests 10 minutes a part. If there is a downward trend, as there was on your "dustbin day", it might be worth eating some carbohydrate (i.e. in the form of digestive) to provide some much needed fuel. [/QUOTE]
