Hi everyone
I'm new to diabetes and i'm getting very confused with some of the topics on here, but i'm learning while i'm reading! Can someone please explain to me why i get high readings 2 hrs after food when i've eaten carbs but i'm not so bad after i've eaten sweet foods. I'm at the point where i am testing every food type i eat and its happening all the time. Bread, potatoes, pasta and rice are a big NO but a biscuit, slice of cheesecake doesn't seem to be too bad. Typical reading 2hrs after carbs are up to 180 but after sugar it can be back down to around 130 2hrs after eating. I was under the impression that all sweet things are a big no no. I suppose whats good for one is not good for another...keep on testing is the answer maybe?
I'm a new member so i'm hoping to learn loads on here about my newly diagnosed Type 2.
Thankyou to everybody in anticipation!
