8 days continous testing – same time of day (9.00am) gives me…

7.3
7.6
6.7
7.0
8.8
6.7
4.7
6.0

?

i never realised that it would vary so much !? Anyone else have the same kinda readings?

I decided to start at 300mg….

My first 2 readings before starting (1 week after a BAD attack and foot still feeling bruised) was 7.3, 7.6…. not bad, i thought.

Started taking Allo, then got the following daily readings (all taken 1st thing in morning).. 6.7, 7.0, 8.8, 6.7

The 8.8 threw me a little, and i wondred if taking the Allo would increase my levels in the blood, but it's back down to 6.7 this morning??

I havn't calibrated the meter yet, but took the wife's as a control test and she was 4.7 the first day, and also 4.7 the day i got my high reading… ?

Thanks for the info…

I know everyone is different, but i have a trip planned the 3rd week in Jan, and want to be able to walk withoiut too much pain…

With starting Allo today, am i likely to have pain in a months time (due to the crystals 'thawing' ?), or does the initial flare-up come on, and go away, quite quickly? If i upped to a 300mg, do you think that would get it over and done with quicker? I remember seeing a chart which suggested more than 50% people got rid of the initial flare up in the first month…

Again – my current level at 7.6 isn;t too high reading others stories…. (if my meter is accurate!)
