In my "one-rat" clinical study review of my most-frequently-used meter, had 100 mg/dl 3 times in 234 tests (1.28%) over 39 days.
102 mg/dl, 4 times.
107 mg/dl, 3 times.

I can't believe I was geeky enough to figure that out!

I also had ONE 104, just like the meter ads.

I managed to get 104 about 2 or 3 times I think. I wonder why they chose that number for the ads?

Maybe because it's a nice round number that's easy to see.

The number 104 is the smallest known number of unit line segments that can exist in the plane, 4 touching at every vertex.

Hope that helps!

I'm lost. Can you explain further, Danny?

When I was first diagnosed I got 100 a couple times. It's been almost five months and I really don't want to ever see that number now unless I have a "cheat day". I like to keep my BG in the 90's or less at all times.

I "like" to keep my BG in the 90s, too. Whether that actually happens or not depends on a very large number of variables!

After reading this discussion I reviewed my meter history... Oct. 18th, 4pm my blood sugar was 100 mg/dl. I did notice a high volume of 102 and 98 mg/dl on my meter.

This discussion reminds me of chasing the royal flush on a slot machine.... instead of a winning a bucket full of nickels, we win our health.

I had a 100 a few days ago when I got up. Other than that, I can't really remember when I got one. I am quite often all around it. Wish it was like horseshoes!

The US measures blood glucose in mg/dl and Canada measures in mmol/L. This is why there is such a large discrepancy between these numbers. In the US typically 80-120 mg/dl.

Hope this clears things up!
