One week completed on a LCHF diet and this afternoon my meter arrived so I gave it a try the reading 1 hour after lunch which was 3 Strawberries 10 blackberries and 10 blueberries with double cream and my reading was 11.0 so my ? is how bad is that and I need advice regarding using the meter I am type 2 I am taking 2/500ml Metformin in the morning after food and 1/500ml Metformin in the evening. Thanks

Hi Viv0147,

First you need to make sure you hands are freshly washed & secondly I think it the portion size. 10 Blackberries or 10 blueberries but not both. I have berries on a morning with Yogurt but I would say it's more like 7/8.

You need to be testing just before eating at 1hr and at 2hr. And what you eat you are trying for the number not to rise more than 2mmol/l, Hope this helps.

Susikav, sorry to hear you have a sinus infection, horrid. Hope you feel better soon.

6.7 today, lowest ever reading for fasting test!

 

[emptyplate]

6.5 mmol / L this morning.
7.2 mmol / L at bed time.
Not too bad considering not enough sleep was had - none of which was before midnight.
