is there any reason why my blood sugar would be lower a couple of hours after eating as opposed to than the mornings/ fasting. Should I be worried or is this a good thing? I just can't seem to get my fasting levels lower after 3.5 months trying

i love pizza too much and I crave it so bad some days. If I do order would it be better for my blood sugar if I split the pizza between 3 days than eat it all at once? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question but I'd like to not have to give it up. And at least this could be an alternative

im just curious about how other prediabetics are doing on a low carb diet. I've only checked my blood since being diagnosed on a blood glucose meter. It's still roughly the same if not higher despite losing 2 stone. This is really frustrating but I will soldier on. I will have to go for a review...

firstly sorry for making tons of threads I just been obsessing since I been diagnosed as prediabetic and really trying to get things right. Anyway I had an Indian takeaway with tandoori and paneer last night and checked my blood sugars before and after. Before it was 5.3 and 1 hour after it was...

So I haven't been tested in a few months so I can only hope my blood sugar has improved. But I'm just wondering where on the scale my old results would put me. My hba1c is 32 which from what I've read is good. But my fasting blood sugar was 5.6 which isn't so good. I was diagnosed with...

So someone here has advised I up my carb intake a bit to avoid cheat days that I've often succumb to. How many carbs should I aim for? I have been going 20g a day with the cheat days I've mentioned. If I aim for 50g a day what kind of food should I be eating? I presume a couple of slices of...

I've been low carbing for 3 months now and I won't lie I have cheated about every week or 2. I lost about 2 stone but that's stopped now. I'm more concerned about my blood sugar which is still usually 5.6-5.9 upon waking. When I eat it goes up to about 6.5 after an hour an half. I just don't...

It would seem my blood sugar has actually gone up since I got diagnosed with prediabetes. When I first got tested on a fasting it was 5.6 I believe and now I'm average 6 in the mornings. Could there be any reason why this is happening?

So I've been low carbing for 3 months now. They stupidly didn't include my blood sugars on my blood test but i got my cholesterol levels at least. If anyone could help me understand them I would be more than grateful. Serum TSH level - 2.57 Serum lipids - 5.6 Serum triglycerides - 1.4 Serum...

I'm just wondering what the ranges are meant to be. Mine was 6.1 fasting this morning. Im certain it's gone up since last time I checked. Does it go up and down sometimes? I did have a kebab last night could that be why?

Everytime I've tried it it says 5.7 even when I haven't put any blood on a test strip yet and I put it in it will say that. Unless I'm missing something I don't think it's working. Perhaps one of you can enlighten me to what's going on.

So I've been doing keto for about 3 months now. I have cheated once every few weeks but now my pizza cravings have come back in full force. I'm really trying to hold out from getting one but I really don't want to cook. I had one last week aswell. Can I get away with having a pizza every week? I...

And it almost seems too good to be true but my blood sugar was 5.7mml/mol(?) This was taken around an hour and a half after eating and I did have a few carbs today. Is this good? Or can they sometimes be inaccurate

I've just been to get my blood test. I was meant to have my blood sugars checked aswell but the nurse stupidly didn't include that but that's another story. I've been on a keto diet for 2 and a half months now which I've been fairly strict on but there have been a few occasions where I slipped...

I have no idea what to get or how to get started in measuring my blood sugar. I've been putting it off because I don't like the thought of pricking my finger all the time. I always thought of my prediabetes as something I can just counteract by losing some weight and eating right. Do I really...

Sometimes events make it really hard not to cheat. Parties or holidays. I have cheated on average once a month but I know I should be doing better. Its not like I'm craving carbs but it's more just impulsiveness. I'm meant to be doing keto and I know I'm not really meant to be cheating. I...

I cheated once already and there's a couple of events coming up including Christmas which will make it hard for me to sustain from carbs. I've looked at the benefits of ketosis but I don't see much difference from that and staying low carb with the occasional off days. I don't get carb cravings...

Excuse the spelling. If you're not sure what it is it's got cheese peas and paneer. I know its got some carbs but worried how many though. I ate tonight a whole container of tandoori mixed grill and then 3/4 of a mattar paneer. I seem to be having Indian once a week because I just get in the...

I've made a similar thread before but hoping for more responses this time. If I had a weekly takeaway of say Indian mixed grill would that be ok? Is there a rule about cheat days on keto. Or does it not matter aslong as you don't have carbs. I think I've been addicted to MSG for way too long...

I had 3 in the past 3 weeks so far. 2 have been at my dad's so I had no choice. But I wasn't really in the mood for cooking tonight so ordered a mixed grill. I was just wondering if this is packed with calories or not? I don't have naans or rice so I'm not too worried about the carbs. But if I...
