@KDOGG331 how long after eating did you test?

Not exactly sure but a while. I think I ate at like 3 or 3:30?? But I took forever to drink the milkshake was sipping it from then until like 5 tested at like 8:45 I think? So like 4 or 5 hours???

But it was a huge meal so I don’t think it is too high??? But idk.

Your test doesn't count. It was to long after the meal.
BUT!!! Your meal was very high carb and your reading does show that your sugars DO drop without medication.
An A1C test gets a reading that covers 90 days so if yours was higher than desired it may be that you carb load a ton.
Again the morning reading will tell a lot. Then test before eating and 2 hours after eating.

Sugar in drinks will hit hard and fast so....yeah not so good right before testing.

OH the Dr Oz guy said 5 days of 250 zinc only if you have symptoms...any longer or more you will need a ton of TP

Re TP, I got a Wendy's burger today and what I realized is they gave me a large Handful of paper napkins! So I was thinking one meal from Wendy's or Fast food per day can net probably all the TP you need for the day!

Thank you!!! Very helpful!! I figured it was too long after eating but because I took so long to drink the milkshake I didn’t think I should test immediately after. next time I’ll eat it all together.

That’s good it drops though, right?

I’ll test it again in the morning.

Thankfully I don’t really drink much sugary stuff anymore. Don’t drink soda or juice or anything. Mostly only drink water. BUT!!! I’ve been having a ton of tea lately and have been putting tons of sugar in that lately. but we are almost out so will quit it. Also did not have any tea today. Too busy

In our area of north texas they report 3425 cases and 72 deaths. 10 of those in our county. Living in the rural far end of the county and close to a small town TP, dried foods, cleaning supplies are sporatic.
The hoarding was caused when the media published what to stock up on. Saw idiots raking whole shelves of macaroni in baskets.
This is some serious stuff but the normal lack of common sense doesn't help. But I have plenty of things to do on my acreage. My wife informed me at 67 I am in the risk age group.
I'm more worried about my kids and grandkids jobs and new babies. Two work in healthcare facilities and have infants at home.

A little patience, common sense, and reasonable caution should get most people through this, I hope.

Yes it dropping on its own is how it is supposed to be.
Your reading was low enough that it made me question how long after eating so many carbs it was.
I am never reading that low in the mornings.....ever.
