[QUOTE="CraigDT, post: 845425, member: 141501"] Did you get a finger pick test where they test your blood sugar at that moment using a little device that gives you a number right there? The other thing they might have done is an hba1c test that measures your average blood glucose over the last 3 months. They take blood for that one. The hba1c would not be affected by the fries, the finger pick test would. If you are uncertain then talking to the doctor and telling him about the fries would probably be the best way to know whether it influenced the results. The normal range of blood glucose for a non diabetic before meals is 4 to 6.8. After meals it can rise as high as 7.8. Some type 2 diabetics on here have had great success in reducing their medication through diet and exercise so there is a lot you can do. It is a scary thing to be told by your doctor but it is a totally controllable condition and you can do a lot to reduce your chances of any long term complications. I am type 1 but I am sure some type 2s will be along soon with some more relevant thoughts. :) [/QUOTE]
