Sometimes after practice, my BG is high (around 215) and sometimes it is low (around 65) - and there seems no rhyme or reason. My meter is self calibrating, so it's not an issue of the wrong "code", and as a test, for the past 4 weeks, I've had exactly the same pre-practice meals. Why the strange variances?
