Question for the group:

I've been monitoring my readings for over three months now after somewhat
accidentally testing myself in April and seeing some numbers higher than I
liked. The patterns I see are relatively normal and mostly make sense. But
the morning fasting levels seem to vary more than anything else. I get
readings between 83 and 114 on my home glucose meter. These readings have
been trending downward somewhat as I have low carbed and lost some weight
(near my ideal weight now). But this morning, for no reason I can discern,
I
got a 112.

A few days ago I had a medical checkup, and my lab-measured morning
fasting
reading was 83. My home measure before driving the few blocks to the lab
was
99. My A1c was 5.1.

Either my meter is less accurate than I thought, or my FBGs dance around a
lot.

As for the fbg, I'm not the expert here (actually, I'm not even sure I'm
here), but I don't think 99 to 83 is that much of a variation, especially
considering even the limited physical activity of walking to the car,
stooping to get in it, driving with senses alert, getting out of the car,
walking to the waiting room..... general messing around between readings.
Mine go up and down.... up and down, with a mind of their own anyway.

As to this morning, isn't 112 between your usual 83 and 114? .... or did I
interpret part that wrong?
