Is Fluctuation Of Hematocrit Levels Normal?

Is it normal for hemocratic levels to fluctuate? I am 41 years old and have type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism. I have a Glucose monitor that tests HCT and Ketones that my GP prescribed for me two months ago. My hemocratic levels fluctuate daily between 21% and 56%. Is this something that needs further investigation?

Hi
Yes it is normal. Any minor variation or even taking lot of fluid or not taking fluid can also change it... Even sweating can affect hematocrit levels.
Thankyou
