[QUOTE="woodywhippet61, post: 1612662, member: 418778"] Are you testing? If not you are working blind. IMO it is very important to test to see what effects the food you eat has on your bg. I eat to my meter. I don't count carbs or anything. I do fast in the mornings because I've done that for 40 years. I test immediately before eating and then again at 1 hour and 2 hours. (I have a libre so it's no hassle to test if I was to finger prick then I'd miss out the 1 hour). I set myself the goal of bg below 7.5 @ 2 hours after eating. Other people aim for a rise of no more than 2 from the pre test to the 2 hour test. By testing it gives me some control over my diabetes both physically and mentally. It gives me choices over what to eat. [/QUOTE]
