Wear 24hour monitoring glucose patch.

This is good to properly observe your glucose level throughout the day and what triggers your spike/drop. My mother use this and the data is shared so it can be seen by every family members.

However, there is a discrepency between glucose patch and finger prick reading. At least from the one my mother is using.

Which brand are you using by the way? It is rather pricey.

I buy the cheapest which is Ottai.
There another brand that do calibration but at about rm150.

Ottai is about rm100.

Libre almost rm200.

I think Linx can do calibration.

Finger prick reading also discrepency between brand and also if buying so call cheaper test strip from othe countries as well.

I tested malaysia test strip and korean test strip.

I have Contour plus and One touch.....definitely different reading.

What like about 24hour monitoring is to observe the trend of our glucose so that what we consume.

I drink beer....at least 15mol...beeping madly.
I eat like satay....bakar stuff......beep beep towards 18mol.


I notice when we have a good sleep.....the glucose will magically go as low as 6mol...
But once we wake up.....somehow it will slowly go to 10mol without taking anything.

Fasting seem the best way....
Even Aaron Kwok eat one meal a day......

Eat to live NOT Love to Eat.

When we are sleeping, blood glucose will dropped. That's how nocturnal hypoglycemia kicks in to certain patients.

That is what happening to me mostly when monitoring glucose level.
After 12 midnite, It will start to drop until 7mol once wake up...
once I wake up, it will start climbing back even I didn't even have breakfast..
Seem fasting is the best way...

Skip breakfast or have a non sugary drink....
The glucose in my case will start only dropping to 5mol usually near noon or by 2pm latest.

So if I binge lunch.... The reading will double up and will fall that if I control my lunch.... If not.... All the way to 6pm before I harakiri insulin...
