Thanks for those replies Alexandra100. Apologies for using the word advising, it’s more ‘this is what i’ve done and it works for me’ which is not advice.
I was surprised at how many carbs you can eat by having a few onions, salad and veg, and nuts. Today I was at 9.3 when I woke up, but forgot to take my test kit to work I’ve had egg, meat, fish and cheese today, no veg, fruit or salad. Pre dinner at 8 pm this evening I’m at 7.5. Im going to test 90 mins after dinner ( i’d like to wait 2 hours but it’s getting late) I’m going to have a run after the 90 mins post dinner test, test straight after the run and then 30 mins later. I’ll let you know how I do.
