Pre-meal BG reading before dinner was 71
My dinner consisted of it's typical fare; which was:
This is a typical meal for both my lunches and dinners.
And according to the Calorie King Software that I use to track my diet.
This dinner consisted of:
Two hours after dinner my BG was 54.
3-1/2 hours after dinner I attempted another reading.
BUT
three different readings taken from the same finger prick. All taken within the same minute.
Resulted in: 105, 72, 63
Usually my post meal BG readings after a lunch or dinner like this would be in the 90's.
Or maybe in just a little over 100 if I ate more carbs.
Such as eating 6oz of raspberries or blackberries along with the banana and salad.
So how am I to believe that 54 or that 105 ?
Is this the last gasps of my pancreas giving out and meaning I'll probably be on insulin soon ?
Or
Is just the inaccuracy of Bg meters ?
