Testing out what I can and can't get away with eating. As my HAb1c was only 50 when I was diagnosed type 2 and I'm on 500g of Metformin daily and lost a stone in weight over the last 6 weeks I don't think my readings should be too high, still have about another 2st to lose.
Blood glucose level at 11pm last night. 5.8
Blood Glucose level after fasting this morning at 8-46am 5.2
Breakfast at 9-20am 2 weetabixs with 3ozs skimmed milk. Cup of coffee
Blood glucose level at 11-32am 5.5
Blood glucose level at 1-46pm 5.5
Lunch at 1-46pm 1 slice of wholemeal granary bread and butter. 30g lean ham. 30g cheese.
Blood glucose level at 3-46pm 6.2
Blood glucose level at 6-01pm 5.0
Dinner at 6-05pm 50g Crinkled oven chips, 50g breaded Scampi. Peas. Lettuce. Cucumber. Tomato.
Blood glucose level at 7-55pm 5.9
So I think the bread is a no no, so will have to think so something different for lunch that I can take to work.
I use carb manager to work out the carbs I have had. Can anyone explain what the difference from where it says E.g 63g net carbs then 75g total carbs.
