Here in the states we use mg/dl, so I apologize in advance for any confusion... and if there's already a thread for this... a little exhausted of looking things up right now...
After getting of steroids I've been trying to figure out what to eat and everything, but one thing still eludes me is what is "normal". So I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm suppose to be shooting for. I can't find any reliable US documentation that agrees with another to say what should happen before 2 hours after a meal. I keep finding reliable sources say it should be below 140 mg/dl (7.77mmol/l) two hours after eating a meal... but that doesn't help me understand the underlying problem that affects my BG an hour after I eat. 140 mg/dl (7.77mmol/l)is where the states recognize beta cell damage, so I want to stay far below that... but I don't know what is healthy or anything. For all I know a spike above 140 mg/dl is normal as long as it sinks... Does anyone have a clue?
I ate a tiny box of raisins that has like... 11 carbs in it and it shot me up to 121 mg/dl after an hour... but if I eat 40 carbs from a tortilla with 2% cheese on them I only go to 110 after an hour then 119 at the two hour mark... I probably sink down below 110 at the two hour mark for the raisins.
