Hi and welcome, lots of good help here.

You will find as I did that things can vary from time to time and evidently a lot of things can effect your readings from time of day, how your feeling, stress, ect.

You haven't said how long you have know about your situation or if the reading now is higher or lower than before? After I found this site I lost about 30 pounds and saw a significant drop in my morning numbers.. Of course that was with exercise and pretty strict eating as I am not wishing to take medication unless I absolutely have too. Many will say also the meters are not really exactly where your at at any given time either since they vary by 20% or more from the real reading.. But I know what your saying, I have been obsessing about some readings I was getting the past few weeks.. Some of which have returned to much better levels.. Who know why, the weather, the meter, what I ate.. I doubt that, I don't usually go way off, although for a bit I went more off than usual when the doctor said to eat cafefully, just not crazy. I realize he isn't the one with the problem and so I had to rethink his advice from the results I could see by increasing the carb intake..
Some mornings I got higher numbers at first, when I got up, then I started seeing lower numbers later instead. So who knows why.. Main thing is to do what you learn is best for you and stick with it..
