I have been trying to get on top of my BG's and my weight etc ..i have lost about 12lb 6 kgs in 5 weeks ..I have cut portions , watch fat and sugar intake , but struggling with carbs i dont understand them ..My Bg's are erratic after meals, when i think i have eaten well my Bg's seem very high after 3 hours between 9-12 another time when i have a treat and expect a disaster they can be better ...I usually have a BG of 6.5 to 7.5 before my main evening meal, and I prefer meat where possible IE chicken , fish spag bol without the spag lol , with it I will have new potatos baked potatos , or sweet potato fries mixed veg etc ..i dont eat pasta have cut out white bread totally ....tonight I had 1 baked potato with Mayo my BG was 7.5 before and 9.9 after 2 1/2 hours although yesterday it was at 13 after 3 hours last week i had a birthday bbq i went a little silly , burgers beer potato salads and sweet after I was munching for a good few hours , but when i tested about 2 hours my BG was 8.5 . i expected it to be sky high ...i sometimes think is it worth it , although I know it is ...its so confusing ....
