Question about my Onetouch Ultramini Blood Glucose Meter and testing.
I have been washing my hands with warm water and no soap and then drying the hands with a towel. Then I hit the "eject" button from my device into top of my finger for testing. I keep the needle in for about 2 seconds to make sure I get enough blood which is very small amount. I then let the blood spot (without a smear) guide into the test strip which is located in the meter. I then keep the strip in the meter and the meter counts down from 5 seconds to read my results.
Please advise if this is the correct way to test because I want to make sure my below readings are accurate.
Last 3 days of results at night:
128 = 2 hours after eating a whole medium pizza
102 = 2 hours after eating chicken with mushrooms and 4 no sugar cookies (~ 25 carbs).
103 = 2 hours after eating chicken with half plate of egg noodles (pasta) and 2 scoops ice cream and 3 sugar free cookies.
