potency of insulin (is vial old??)
site absorption
bubbles in tube
injection into muscle vs fat
eating high fat
insulin resistance throughout the day (it varies)
eating high GI foods vs low GI
size and/or surface area of bolus
change in weather
sickness
certain medications like antibiotics, steroids

I'm sure there's a billion more variables, but that's all I can think of right now besides the ones previously mentioned.

You aint kidding!! Joey's 404 bg reading popped up out of the blue in the middle of normal and lows. Ya know, I think that when my dog Noir was circling to lay down that day, she only did 3 turns instead of 4! That's it!! It explains everything!! I swear some day this disease could make the Pope drink!! :mad:
