Hi all.
I have pcos and insulin resistance.
Just a bit concerned at the moment.
Yesterday for lunch I had 2 slices of granary bread with Marmite, 2 go ahead crispy slices, half a rich tea biscuit, 1 munchie and a cup of decaf tea.
I took my metformin, which I've been on for a week.
About half an hour later I was falling asleep (which is quite the norm for me)
Felt rubbish, so it was an hour and a half after eating that I checked my sugar levels.
My mum is type 1, so I used her machine.
Anyway, my blood sugar was 9.5.
Just thinking that with insulin resistance, usually my sugar level is on the lower side.
I'm trying to lower my carb intake, so I don't know why it went so high.
I can't find anywhere online what the sugar level range is for insulin resistance.
I Went for a 45 minute walk after checking my sugar level. When I got home, it had gone down to 6.0
Can anyone give me any advice on this matter?
Thankyou
