[QUOTE="Mark_1, post: 1569326, member: 385945"] Sounds like that wasn't a good breakfast for you, but depends on what your number was beforehand. was it carb heavy? Toast, Cereal, that sort of thing? Eggs is a good option for me, an omelette made with spinach for example. Exercise helps to use up the excess sugar and larger muscles can store more, so don't stop the exercise. Weights is a good option. Personally I do weights 5 days a week and walk/run everyday with the dogs, but that's not for everyone. A Libre start up pack would give you 24/7 readings for 4 weeks for around £140. You could try 28 different breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks to see what they do to your BG. That would give you a really good basis. At the very least explain to your wife that by testing you can make the right decisions on what to eat to keep you well so you need the meter. Once you know what a particular meal does you can cut back on testing for that meal to once every now and again. [/QUOTE]
