T2 since last millennium 20 glyclazide 1000 metformin 10 dapagliflozin
I have decided to buy my own test strips as the doctor will only prescribe 50 per year. I Am trying to improve my diet so have been measuring my BG regularly recently.
My early morning reading has gone from 7.5 average to 6.5. Before meals around 4.5 and 2 hours afterwards around 8.
Today I am looking carefully at things I eat. So porridge +toast at breakfast lead to 10.1 2 hours later.so I tested again 1 hour later 9.9. Then just before lunch I tested again giving 5.4. I had tuna salad with couscous (60g) and two crumpets. After 2 hours BG 10.1 so I waited and hour, it read 11.1.
Now just before dinner the reading is 8.2. 5 hours since lunch.
I know it's a lot of testing but I am trying to understand about eating and BGs. It appears that the more carefully I eat the higher the glucose gets.
Any comments
