Hi everyone
Just diagnosed a couple of weeks ago, and am slowly getting to grips with what I can eat. But I'm confused by some of the test results I'm getting after meals. For instance, today for lunch I had a salad of Quinoa, pomegranate, pine nuts, herbs, and dressing (oil and lemon juice). Tested before and I was 7.9, tested again 2 hours later and it was 5.9. Do you think that's right? I find it hard to believe that something I've eaten has reduced my blood sugar straight away...or is it possible?
Thanks for any info

PS...sorry for the unoriginal title, I've just notice a few other posts with the same! :roll:
