Annoyingly I forgot to test before dinner as I’m still trying to get I to the habit. i just tested after dinner, a little late but still expecting a higher than typical reading because I treated myself to half a large pear. (Carbs were pretty low today so it was a treat).

5.3. The reason I was late? I swam for 30 minutes for the first time in years after dinner. Wishing I’d tested before the swim now too. Still I think I’ll be doing it again after that reading.
 
Well done! It’s a great feeling when you break another target isn’t it? :)
 
Congrats- try not to be downhearted if it still jumps about a bit. I’m learning all sorts of things can give rise to sporadic higher readings. It’s the trend that matters and you’re heading the right way.
