New to this. Using my Dad's glucose monitor (he passed away in 2009 at age 95).

My fasting BS @ 10 was 98.

One hour later, after a breakfast that consisted of:

1 slice toasted whole wheat bread
1 scrambled egg w/cheese added
1 cup 2% milk
4 fresh strawberries (no added sugar)

my BS was 29. Whuh? Is that possible?

I didn't have any OJ in the fridge, so ate a tsp. of raspberry jam.

Tested again 5 min. later and got a BS readout of 119.

This makes NO sense whatsoever to me!!!


The FreeStyle monitor does a little self-test before you can submit the blood sample. I don't poke my finger -- just stab my forearm to get a dot of blood.

Input please!


(BTW, I will be leaving soon -- will check back this afternoon.)
