taking blood glucose for the first time

[Guest guest]

Per Val's suggestion, I decided to buy a glucose meter at CVS and took my blood

sugar level this a.m. before breakfast, then this afternoon 2 hours and 18

minutes after lunch.

My fast glucose was 94

I had a terrible time getting enough blood for a reading in the afternoon, so I

had to start exercising for 10 minutes to get my circulation going. I took my

level and it was 77.

My question is, does the exercise make the reading skewed? I was actually

suprized the reading was so low.

Is 2 hours and eighteen minutes too late to get a good reading after a meal?

Is 94 fasting high in your opinion (val?)

I am taking 55 mg HC, which is why I have to check my levels

Thanks!
