[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 704284, member: 94045"] Hi Julieemma, The best way to learn about what your meals are doing to your blood sugars is the test immediately before you eat and then again 2 hours after your first bite. Look at the difference in levels. If it is more than 2mmol/l different (ideally under 1.5mmol/l) there are too many carbs in that meal. You can then try again with the same meal but have a smaller portion of the carbs, and keep doing this until your levels improve, or avoid those carbs completely for a while. Keep a food diary, including portion sizes, and record your levels alongside. This way you can look back and hopefully learn a few things. You can also test as soon as you get up in the morning. This is your morning fasting level, and you should aim for it to be under 6 if you can, although this may take a while to happen. In what way are you struggling with your diet? Can we help you with this? [/QUOTE]
