GD Blood Sugar Question!!

Hey ladies-

So I tested this morning, about 40 minutes after I woke up.... and my fasting number was 91 (supposed to be under 90).  I thought this was "off" since I've never had a high number, and my bedtime snack was a small glass of skim milk and a South Beach granola bar (high in protein and 15g carbs). 

I used the "control" strip- to ensure accuracy... and retested about 10 minutes after I initially tested, and got an 84.

 So which number do I record??

    Whenever I did a re-test, I would record both numbers in the same box.   91 is so close anyways that I dont think your doctor would view it as an issue.

    I believe one reason numbers can be off if there is any residue on the finger you tested of sanitizer, lotion, etc etc...

    Yeah, I would say record both.  Any time I've retested for any reason the numbers bug me because they don't make sense to me, so nowadays I just leave the one number as is and if they have a problem with it I assume they'll ask me.  FWIW, I have had a couple of borderline numbers (like 2 hr # of 121, 123, etc.) and they've never even mentioned it.
