[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 686287, member: 94045"] Hi Rachelc and welcome to the testing club. You were high after breakfast because you ate cereal, which is generally a no-no for type 2's. Far too many carbs - it will tell you on the packet how many. However, I see it was a 1 hour reading and on its way down at 2 hours. This is what I would expect from Special K. Your fasting was higher than ideal, but these readings are notoriously difficult to control and will be the last to come down. Ideally you should try to keep any before and 2 hours after rise to less than 2mmol/l. Try not to test randomly. Test immediately before you eat, and then at 2 hours after your first bite to begin with, then also a morning fasting and a bedtime one. You can amend these times as you progress and add a 1 hour reading when you understand what goes on. PS don't forget to keep a food diary and record your levels alongside. A pattern will soon emerge. PPS your body reacted (probably) to lower levels than it is used to when you went dizzy. It will adjust fairly quickly. [/QUOTE]
