I have adjusted my diet, using myfitnesspal, to try and take in no more than 1500 calories per day. This has brought my weight down and my sugar levels under control.
Started my diet in January and you can see the effect on my average glucose level: http://scorpuk.net/php-project/generated/john/January.png. Got a 6.3% in March for my Hba1c, previously 7.1%+.
Also fyi: http://scorpuk.net/php-project/generated/john/Year.png (Not updated the database fully for this month, been on holiday. )
My question is, though, at lunch time my pre meal glucose level can be around 8.0 and by 5pm my glucose level can be anything from 4.5 to 5.9, but I have not taken any insulin. I probably just need to take a biscuit or something a couple of hours before leaving work, but just think it strange.
Any advice?
I still do take insulin if I have a very high reading and always take my Lantus at night before bed.
