[QUOTE="AlexMagd, post: 1613743, member: 429623"] Not sure why people are being so hard on OP here; if he's able to maintain good BG control then that's the most important thing. It affects everyone a little differently - there are plenty of people on here who can't eat more than 20g carbs a day and plenty who have 50-70g or even more, and still maintain good blood sugar control. 8.0 two hours after meals is too high for me personally, but it's also what the NHS recommends. If we're going to say "that's way too high and you should aim for lower", that should be sourced with some evidence - otherwise it's not helping anyone (and I'd argue that 6 two hours after eating a meal consistently is a v tough target for someone newly diagnosed to reach). Eating to your meter is the approach most people here advocate - OP is doing that and that's great. Any progress in the right direction should be celebrated. What I will say is that your 6.3 after your Thai meal may well be due to the alcohol - I find that alcohol drops my blood sugar quite a lot, though for the next couple of days I will be more erratic and run higher than usual as a result. The true figure may well be higher. [/QUOTE]
