Can I ask please, do you know your HbA1c number? If not, find out, you need to know your starting point. I found it highly motivating to enter my numbers and food into the mySugr app. After a few days of data it will give you an estimated HbA1c reading.
Can I ask you to tell us everything that you ate yesterday?
Are you testing immediately before eating and two hours after the first bite?
I would love to give you that info but I was only diagnosed yesterday...the doctor definitely said the blood test came back and there was 10% sugar in my blood...again bear in mind I don't have a clue what I'm talking about so that might not mean anything
I only started taking my tablets yesterday, I'm in to see the diabetic nurse on the 25th she will have longer to answer my questions, I only got 15 min with my doctor.
As for what I ate, this is what I've had today along with reading taken before eating.
At 9 am my blood sugar was 17.1(took my tablets at the same time)......at about 1 pm it was 12.7 ...at 7:30 pm it's 7.8
I've not had tea yet but I had 5 mouthsful of bran flakes for breakfast ...5 rashes of bacon and 1 scrambled egg and a lo-cal jelly pot for dinner and for tea ill be having roast chicken breast and a huge pile of broccoli and green beans.
My one vice I haven't admitted to yet is the can of Stella larger I have EVERY night....I'm a pisshead
As far as testing times go...no, not really but if you're telling me thats the best/correct way to test then ill do it like that from now on...thank you!!
