Hello again, I have a question regarding Blood sugar numbers. I just started testing today and not really sure what I am doing or what is good, bad or ok ish.
Tested for the first time this morning before eating ( about 10.30) reading was 12.1. High I know.
Tested again 2 hours after brunch which was scrambled egg, smoked salmon and avacado and it was 9.1
Tested again 2 hours after a sort of lunch of a handful of walnuts and it was 8.0
Tested again after supper tonight of homemade chicken curry with cauliflower rice on a small plate and it was back up to 12.0
Not sure what is going on there?
Also, how long would it take on a low carb woe to see numbers start to come down.
I have an appointment to see the diabetic specialist doctor at our practice on Friday and I’m pretty sure it’s going to involve yet more meds....... I really don’t want that but I don’t want high blood sugars either as I already had a heart attack
Just to ad that Low carb would not be totally new to me as I have followed a med diet for a while now.
thank you.
