| | | Interesting...I think this is good?
I've been feeling GREAT, all day today. I haven't take my bs at all today, but just took it now and I'm at 79 (according to the meter). I suppose there is that 20% error thing, but usually when I'm in the 70's-80's, I feel horrible. Do you think it's going down because of the diet stuff?? This is good, right?  |

| | I don't know about diet for sure, but don't worry if you usually feel bad here. You may indeed be getting used to being at lower readings.
Personally I have good weeks were 70's are just fine, and other weeks where I feel like I am going to die from a hypo in the high 80's. So don't be disappointed if this is a fluctuating or temporary thing.
I know you have been stressed with a lot lately. Just have a "WOOO HOOO" moment and smile .

| | | Hi, Bridgette!
Yep, as your body gets used to lower #s, you will feel better at the Normal 70's & 80's readings. Now, if you go below 70 frequently, watch out because your body will get used to that too!
In the meantime, congrats! |

Glad your step-dad's numbers are great; however, advertising a product on our forum is against forum rules and can result in your account being banned...so resist the temptation to try and sell us your product.
