[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 984205, member: 221545"] More help - great! Thanks. With very little carbs (ie. whatever is in a bit of chicken, salad, avacados an the like.. and maybe some wafer biscuits...), I was starting the day at about 6.5 and it didn't really go up above 7.2 or so, coming down nicely in late evenings to maybe 5.2 or so. Trying to add a few more carbs (coz I was worrying it wasn't enough) put the start point up a wee bit , and the higher readings (10-12) came 2-3 hours after eating (weetabix, chips..stuff I was trying out). If I don't need to eat them, I won't , but Im unsure of what to replace them with (specifically) if I need to. the one complication is that I have a wee spike a couple of hours after breakfast due to a particular steroid I am on due to transplant...but..with less carbs that figure is also less high. I shall certainly take your advice and try the same thing a couple of times at the same times to see if there's a difference. thanks so much. [/QUOTE]
