Hi again,
I'm a little confused with my blood glucose reading earlier. At present, I use the Freedom Lite monitoring system with Freestyle test stripes.
The reason being that i tested my blood before food 7.2 and 30 mins after food found that my reading had dropped to 7.1.
With this, i tested by blood for a second time to find the reading 8.7. As an experiment for the third time i pricked a different finger and squeezed a good amount of blood to the surface.
This is where it gets strange, i tested the same blood on my finger 3 times with new test strips and 3 times i had different readings of 5.3, 7.9 and 6.9. Is this normal to have a varied reading or how do i get an accurate reading so i know where i am.
Thanks again.
Lee.
