Okay....so my fasting glucose was 114 this morning....three hours later, after having eaten, reading was 92. Any help with why this happens?

I don't have any answers just lots of questions that may or may not help.

I know that a lot of things affect my blood sugar. Sleep, or lace there of, pain, sickness. Believe it or not even not eating enough will drop it like a shot.

You sidn't say if you are on oral meds or insulin. Could that possibly be part of the challenge?

Like said I'm new to this and just saw your posting and thought I'd give it a try. If anything helps great.

I don't understand that at all. but I do know that my reading at night are much lower than my normal fasting readings in the morning. I caulked it up to something that didn't get broken down good maybe.

Why is that strange? Seems pretty good to me, maybe a touch high for your fasting but not bad. Do you know what your blood sugar was 1-2 hours after eating?

114 and 92 are not that much different. If you were 50, then I would look to a cause. But like the other reply "it sounds good to me".
