[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 674939, member: 41816"] I should try and persuade your nurse to give you a meter immediately - provided she also gives you enough test strips to map out what foods spike your blood glucose. How else are you going to manage to get your BG settled? No, scrap that. Buy one. You'll never get enough strips out of her. You need to test before food and then 2 hrs after. Then you will see what meals and foods make the rise. 200g of carbs is a lot in my opinion. I have higher than normal BG on 60-80g a day. I have normal BG on 20-50g. But only if I avoid porridge, bread, rice, pasta, etc completely. I hope you are not t the same, but if you are, regular testing is the only way to find out, get control and stabilise. [/QUOTE]
