My first ever forum hug.congratulations, well done keep up the good work eat healthy and keep active, and what you know is working for you stick with big hugs xx
Life is a little more complicated that a hard and fast rule like that. All depends on what was eaten, how long you spread the food over, and a host of other factors. That is why they do OGTT in a very controlled way and not just get you to test after food and of course after fasting so you don't have protein decomposition etc. Oh if only it was as simple as peak at one hour, below x at 2; although that is a good target after you factor in the meal. That is why it is said to test, test and test again and compare the same meal several times.
An example of this is ice cream for me. I see nothing at 1 and 2 hours! A peak at 3 and back to normal after that
Thanks Bluetit. As I was only testing every half hour, it is unlikely I caught my BG at its peak. The chances are I went over the NICE max by eatinf only around 36g of carbs.
If I did it again I would wait for a lower starting point and it wouldn't be burger and crisps.Totally agree with that. That's why I give thumps up for experiments (within limits of course)
My GP recently told me I am no longer able to have a glucose meter or strips to test my blood sugar. Is anyone else having this difficulty. I am type two but now I am wondering how on earth am I supposed to test my blood sugar

"One team in London, there's only one team in London........"
For what it's worth, I'm so excited about the World Cup I think I might explode!!!!!
I wish there was a cure for all the football. But I am Scottish probably not surprising.arsenal & Barnet?
no we was talking about FOOTBALL!
Yes, for a short while at least I now agree with you. I am so upset that Cesc isn't coming back to Arsenal that I am seriously thinking of not renewing my away scheme membership. The silver (home) membership has already been processed unfortunately. My older son was an Arsenal fans forum member several seasons ago and has a framed photo of himself with Cesc. He is threatening to burn it.arsenal & Barnet?
