TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

How often do you get a reading of exactly 100? It seems to be the number most diabetics strive to maintain, but rarely does one see this golden number. I managed to get this reading only like 4 to 5 times in the 7 months I've had diabetes.

Think Ive gotten it one time. And it was right after I earnestly started treating my Diabetes and I remember saying to my wife " I think Im going low". and when I tested it and saw 100 she says thats perfect. I was like I feel like crap tho lol.

Since then I dance all around that number "100" but honestly only remember getting it the one time.

Great question Jonesy

I think it can also depend on your test strip batch. I swear sometimes I will get the same # 20 times in a week - like 116 or 129.... Not many 100s. Lots of 98s!

I score a 100 at least two or three times a year. Given I test 10+ times a day, that mean I hit the 100-benchmark no more than 0.05% of the time!! Awesome!

Cheers, Mike

It happened only once. I just stared at it like it was a freeky number. I am used to 70's,80's or 120's-140's. It is like a magic number? Better than 200 or 300.

Thats true Nancy..I dont look at it like a target number. Im told by the non diabetics around me I should. HAHAHA. "It is what it is..." in the words of Tony Soprano lol. I get alot of 106's, 115's 119's and alot of 95's,97's . Depends what I am eating and when I worked out and what I did. Other than that...

Unless it's your target, what's the deal with 100:) Though come to think of it, I don't recall seeing a 100 but a couple of times.

Being 100 is one of those things that makes me smile REAL big no matter what. For some reason it is soooo much better than 98 or 101. Not sure why. But I just LOVE it.

It's like winning the lottery! I'd say I hit that mark around 2-3 times a year.
