Glucometer: I think you diagnosed it. Glucometer issue. Even if the battery was not low, a glucometer glucose of 92 and 110 is basically the same number, i.e. Within the margin of error of the instrument.
You are 24 y.O? Type 1 diabetes on insulin? Is it possible your evening Insulin is wearing off, and your glu is creeping up a bit?
