You know, when I was working the floor I found that people's reactions to blood sugar were really all over the place. Some people would feel hypoglycemic when they dropped below 130 but would feel great above 400 with no signs of hyperglycemia--that's just what they normally ran. Then there were other diabetics who felt hypoglycemic only when the were in the 30s but felt hyperglycemic when they hit about 150.
Granted, that wasn't most people because many of the people I cared for generally didn't fit those extremes, but it's not out of the question. I'm also not implying that you're diabetic, but there is a huge range of where people feel normal in relation to their blood sugar.
Personally I would feel hypoglycemic when I was in the 40s, but I don't have diabetes. That was when I was obese and pregnant with my 10-pound child (without gestational diabetes either). I felt much like what you are saying.
Definitely make sure your machine is calibrated and that the strips are not expired. Use the glucose solution to make sure and make sure your hands are scrupulously clean before you go poking, and you'll do okay.
I think your best bet would be to go to the doc and have the HbA1c done along with everything else he or she deems appropriate.

Hang one of those unsightly fly strips.
The old timey ones they used to hang. They still sell them. Made by Catchmaster scented bug & fly catcher. They do work. Think I bought some at Wal-Mart. Comes rolled up about the size of a shotgun shell, you pull it out and it unravels and you tack it with the tack provided. They won't get off of that booger! Warning - Don't lean your head into it accidentally! Oh yes I did...
My dentist also recommend Crest strips
She said she could do the whitening but it would yield no better result than an OTC product. Check the website too, they may have coupons available that you can print or sign up to receive by mail. I'm finding a lot of brand name product websites do this now.
Recalled chicken strips (dogs) from Walmart
We had a bag of these chicken strips from Walmart, and CJ has been sick. Since Walmart has been keeping the recall quiet, neither we nor our vet knew what the problem was! I can only hope he lives!
His symptoms have been respiratory distress and vomiting. I'm really not too happy with Walmart right now. I mean, they were chicken strips!

Thank you! Actually, the fried chicken is chicken strips sm
breaded and fried that I make from scratch. Yes, I buy the 5 pound bag from Sam's club, fry it up and then toss is with my mom's famous teriyaki sauce cut into small, bite sized pieces. With 5 pounds cut up I can make well over 120 pieces. No big deal! Thanks for your suggestions!
