I’ve had a full day of testing.
FBG: 9am -7mmol
Pre food - 5.1
2hrs after food - 7.3mmol
I was shocked by the last reading as I had some whole meal pasta with bolognaise. I was sure it would sky rocket my reading.
anyway. One full day of testing done and those results don’t look too shabby to me.... albeit I am a novice at this. mastering the blood test procedure though and finding that easier if a little painful... not so much at the time but later on.
Perhaps tomorrow morning will see a higher reason from the pasta, we shall see. Night all
That's awesome, well done!
For a while I tested 1h and 2h after food to see how it would affect me as often I was not as high as I'd expect after some meals and I wanted to find out how far up the spike went.
Turns out sweet potato is good for before training, same for bananas. I got away with a small handful of wholegrain pasta and vegetables before training too and a small amount of oats in my morning yoghurt was ok too - that was when I was active and training 6x a week but with Corona cancelling training, I reduced my carbs further as I can't handle them as well.
Had to up my basal insulin this week too and sort of got an ok level again of maintain good control.
I found especially at the start it's all about testing and learning. I used MySugr app to keep track and look at trends until I had an idea on what worked for me.
