[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1535511, member: 94045"] Hi [USER=429678]@Lawrencepa[/USER] and welcome, Can you tell us what the results of your OGTT were? Your fasting baseline and your post drink levels at 2 hours (and any other time you were tested) If you don't know, I suggest you find out as it could be very important. Doctors are too fond of saying things like "it's fine", "it's normal" when in fact it is teetering on the edge of abnormal. You need to know! You could ring and ask, or ask for a print out, or ask if your surgery puts test results on line and how to register for this. (In England surgeries were asked to have test results on line by April 2016 but not all have) I second the suggestion to get a blood glucose meter. They are essential if you want to learn which foods cause your blood sugars to rise too high. There is no other way of doing this. The worst foods are rice, bread, potatoes, pasta, breakfast cereals and most fruits. You probably don't need to cut these out but you may need to reduce the amount you eat, and pizza is not a good idea at all! [/QUOTE]
