Hello Everyone
I've just had a low carb beef stew I made at home and this time my bloods were 8.3 after one hour and ten minutes. I've never been that high since diagnosis. I'm really shocked. I was always advised to test 2 hours after eating to see how food affected my blood sugar. Have I been falsely reassured all this time? Should I test my blood sooner after eating something unknown so it would give me time on the treadmill to burn off some damaging sugar?
BTW, after 10 minutes on the treadmill my bloods have now come down to 5.3.
Nonetheless, how soon/late after eating do any of you test?
Many thanks
