Before Tea/Evening Meal

5.2 for me.

As an aside, I only test my blood sugar once a week at exactly 18.30. So just before tea time. My first test, back in early May, was 8.2 and just a week after my HbA1c result of 101. Since then, my weekly test results have been steadily coming down with 5.2 being the lowest I've ever measured it as. Hopefully, this may indicate that my overall blood sugar is coming down (or at least not going up). Hopefully progress?
Many find the best time to test is on waking to give a fasting reading as there are less variables to affect the reading like what you have eaten, how much exercise, how hydrated you are.
