Each of the spikes usually involved beer, potato or eating out. The high points only go as high as 10.4 (My DE--Diabetes Educator--would say that anything below 10.0mmol/L is acceptable control for a diabetic). 95% of my tests have been on target, I'm really happy with this result. I have not experienced any major lows yet. Of the two lows recorded one was right before a meal that had been delayed by a few hours and the other was an erroneous result, the reading was 3.4 but an immediate retest (and a 2nd confirmation retest on a backup meter) showed me as 4.4.
The one thing I haven't done much of this month is exercise. It's one of the areas of diabetes that I am really unsure about and have been hesitant to try anything new other than the occasional walk. My goal for November (other than growing a moustache) is to add in some more physical activity. Sigh, it's a pity I like being sedentary so very much.
If I keep going with results like these my next HbA1C (glycoslyated haemoglobin... a three monthly average of blood glucose control) should be much better than the first one I had done in September. Stay tuned!
