Hey everyone!
I was hoping someone could offer me some advice...
I'm 24 (almost), female and have polcystic ovarian syndrome... I'm overweight by about 4 stone and am 5'8 tall...
Last night I worked myself in to a bit of a panic about having given myself type 2 diabetes through poor diet and being a tad silly about food...
I rushed out to get a blood glucose monitor and have taken my readings. They are as follows:
Last night before bed about 3hrs after a bowl of white pasta: 7.0 and then 7.7
Fasting blood glucose this morning: 5.2
1hr after breakfast which was scrambled eggs) 5.2
2 hrs after breakfast: 5.4
1hr after lunch which was turkey salad sandwich with 2 slices if whole meal bread and a green vegetable juice: 7.2
1.5hr after lunch 6.8
I'm just waiting to do 2hrs...
Can someone who understand more than I do please tell me if these results are in type 2 diabetes range? From what I have worked out looking at numerous sites etc, they're within the "normal" range but at the higher end... Is it possible with good diet I can get the levels down?
Any advice would be much appreciated...
Thanks!
