You probably experienced what is called the dawn phenomenon. The rise could

have also been due to stress. These are only a couple of the things that make

having diabetes soooooo much fun!

RE: Question and Suggestion

Lasagna has a lot of protein and fat in it. Protein can cause a rise in

blood sugar several hours after it's eaten (I think 50% of protein is

eventually broken down into glucose, and 100% of carbs), and fat slows

down

the absorption of any carbs you've eaten. So something like lasagna or

pizza

will generally make your blood sugar spike higher and stay there for

longer

than other foods, even if they have the same carb content.

Hi ,

This is not unusual. The difference can be caused by meds, exercise,

stress, any food you ate, perhaps you did not have a full sample in your

test strip at home, or even when you last took your meds or even the

difference of meters from your Prodigy to the meter the hospital had.

Generally when you have surgery they tell you to take less insulin because

they are afraid of a low on the table. Not to worry.

I have found that my Prodigy meter reads my sugars a lot lower than they

are. Not to long ago I was at the hospital and they said my sugar was at

273 and when I got home I checked it on my meter and it read 99. I don't

know if it is because there is not enough blood on the strip or if the

meters are just that far off.

It is not that unusual for BG to go up 20 points of so in an hour-especially if

there is some anxiety present. How did your surgery go? Also, there is always

Remember, too, that all glucose meters have an " acceptable " error range of

+/- 20%. So the reading could have been between 76 and 85 and both those

readings would be considered just an acceptable variation for the meter.

(This is why diabetes cannot be diagnosed using home blood glucose meters.)

It could also be any of the things already mentioned.

of course if you take your blood sugars at two different sources and one hour

Compared to my Accuchek advantage/Voicemate, I have found the Prodigy Voice

reads pretty much the same when my readings are near normal. On either side of,

let's say, 100, the prodidgy Voice will read higher on the low side and lower on

the high side. In other words, if my Accuchek gave me a 50, the Voice would

have given me a 70. Then, above 100, a reading of 170 on the Accuchek would

have been 150 on the Voice. I keep this knowledge in the back of my mind and

make necessary adjustments. In the end, since the readings of the 2 meters seem

to converge near the normal or preferable 100 range, I try to keep my readings

there and it really doesn't matter.

Melvin and others,

It would be fairly normal for two different brands of glucose meters to be

as much as 10% different. Now, as for the 270 vs. 99, there ain't no way if

the meters are both working. From everything I have heard the Prodigy is

quite accurate. The 71 vs. 95 is reasonable as there was an hour between the

readings and the hospital setting would cause some degree of stress.

In order to compare meters you would pretty much have to take both samples

at the same time.

Cy, the Ancient okie...

I've never used the Prodigy, but if it's like all the modern meters that don't

talk, it won't start counting down until there is enough blood. All the meters

I've used in recent years will time out or give an error message if it does not

detect enough blood. It seems that they should make talking meters do the same,

especially since people can't see if there's enough blood on teh strip.

You would think so Jen, but the Prodigy Voice, as other meters I've used over

First thanks to all that responded to my queston. Now how do we get an accurate

meter?????

RE: Question and Suggestion

Lasagna has a lot of protein and fat in it. Protein can cause a rise in

blood sugar several hours after it's eaten (I think 50% of protein is

eventually broken down into glucose, and 100% of carbs), and fat slows

down

the absorption of any carbs you've eaten. So something like lasagna or

pizza

will generally make your blood sugar spike higher and stay there for

longer

than other foods, even if they have the same carb content.

Keep in mind, that if you are 90 or 100, or 150 or 160, it isn't any big deal to

not know exactly what it is. The present technology of invasive testing is

probably as accurate as it will ever be, and hopefully we will see a

non-invasive device emerge onto the market in the not to distant future. Of

course, accuracy will still be questionable with that new technology, but my

thinking is, as long as we know, within a certain percentage, of where our bg

is, we can manage our diabetes fairly well.

I have been on a lot of groups but this group is the greatest. With this kind

of knowledge i can be knowledgeable about getting the truth about diabetic care.

My doctor knows 0 about diabetes but as long as this group is going I really

don't car what he knows.

Thank you for all the responses to my question and blessings to all.

My surgery for the rotator cup came out fine a lot of wear and tear from years

of what I don't know, but I think I will survive.

Sincerely,

I have had two torn rotator cuffs. I never had surgery. Each time the pain

stayed with me for nine months to a year. I hope you have better results with

your surgery.
