Fasting was 114 - very low


Melissa...

while 114 is certainly better than what it's been running, that's not very low by any standard. Low would be below 70. Very low would be below 60. Normal fastings should be between 70 and 110 (preferably in the 80's or 90's tops). Keep working at it, you're definitely headed in the right direction if your meeter is accurate. Speaking of accuracy, your meeter should have come with a test solution, or even more than one (a high and a low) so you can check to make sure that your meeter is functioning properly. If your results seem questionable at any time, it's a good idea to use those control solutions to check the accuracy of your meeter. That way, you'll know if you can trust your readings or not.
I wish you luck with finding a plan that will work for you.
