[QUOTE="LivingLightly, post: 2678645, member: 572522"] Evening [USER=585018]@cornylady[/USER]. At this stage, you’ll learn most from blood glucose levels just before you start a meal and then two hours later. (That's two hours after your first bite, not two hours after finishing your meal). The post-meal reading should be no more than 2 mmol/l higher than the first and not higher than 8 mmol/l. If that's the case, your body dealt with the arrival of glucose in your bloodstream and cleared it relatively quickly. If you can achieve that consistently (by reducing your carbohydate intake where necessary), your blood glucose readings when you wake up in the morning should gradually improve, but those numbers are often the last to stabilise. I'm afraid eating more slowly will not affect BG numbers. The carbohydrates you swallow will still end up as glucose in your bloodstream. A review and HbA1c check after six months is normal. By then, you'll be able to assess the effects of the changes you've made. Hope this answers some of your questions. [/QUOTE]
