[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1191216, member: 94045"] [USER=308788]@MikeinWales[/USER] We can't help with your 9.5 reading unless you tell us under what circumstances it was taken - as soon as you woke up (ie fasting), after you have been up and about a long time, after food or drink? The idea is to test immediately before a meal and then again 2 hours after you started to eat. Look at the rise from before to after. It needs to be less than 2mmol/l. If it isn't, there were too many carbs in that meal. Once you are further in to this, try to keep the rise even lower, preferably under 1.5mmol/l. Keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside. Patterns will emerge and you will learn. You can try the meal again with reduced carb portion sizes or eliminate some of the carbs completely. [/QUOTE]
