BS readings

Ok, tonight was my first time ever doing BS measuring, my first test before tea 5.6, my second 2 hours later, 17.8, think I need to look at my foods, it can only get better :(
 
I ate the wrong stuff for dinner, I knew it before I ate it but being able to see the proof by test ing just drives it home how important it is to watch what you eat.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to get it right.
 
If you go to the low carb part of the forum there is a great thread called "what did you eat today". Absolutely loads of ideas for breakfasts lunch dinner and snacks. That's where I started. Good luck
 
I hope you all have a better day tomorrow. Group hugs.

I started off badly with a fasting of 6.0 but the day got better and better. I have had a slice of toast with 2 poached eggs and cheese (maximum spike 1.1) and for tea I had chips, half a slice of fried bread, egg, bacon, mushrooms, toms. (maximum spike 0.6) so well chuffed today.

Well done Kezzer, huge difference from your earlier figures, I woke up to 6.1 and I'm still 6.1 now, BUT ...felt yucky all day possibly just metformin beating me up
 
@ally1

When are you going back to see your Gp/nurse?

I think you may need a slight rise in meds to get your morning levels lower...

Are you finding that you are having larger portions during the day?
 
no larger portion sizes infact smaller
i,m not due to see the diabetic nurse again until may
