A question on levels after meal. Colleague said a reading under 10 2 hours after a meal was OK. I disagreed. Opinions?
Breakfast - Bran flakes with hazelnuts and almonds with ff milk
Snack - chocolate covered rice cake
Lunch - had a works conference so food was limited so had 1 beef sandwich, sausage roll, piece of quiche but left the base and most of the garnish which was lettuce and tomato oh and some fruit salad and a teeny bit of rocky road! Surprisingly enough my BS was 5.3 when I got home at 16.30 so hopefully not too much damage!
Dinner - out tonight so haven't a clue but will try to be good!!
During the week I tend to have breakfast at 6.30 so these make a nice midmorning snack particularly as, even at 10g carbs per cake, they don't affect my BS too much.I have some of those rice cakes they are ok in taste , and nice with the chocolate
And meCheese is one of my favourites to ...
Always loved it jan , think I could have a diet of just cheese ... But I have to watch my cholesterol .And me
Always surprising what some of us can eat and what we can't.... That almond cake is gorgeous BUT my meter doesn't like it... My cereal mix it doesn't mind so much but I get away with it because oats and no sugar bran sticks is small in relation to nuts and seeds and I've always been ok with a but if dried fruit. It's the coconut flour that helps to thicken it and the cashew butter that just finishes the mmmmmm factor for me. Use soya milk and no sweetener at allThanks for that I always get over things pretty quickly but we do remember and life goes on. As for sausages, buns and lager?
Sounds like the days when I was NOT diabetic
There's a table of figures on the main website.... I thought it was 7.8 max but the levels are different for "type" and children ... I believe most people aim for "non diabetic" levelsA question on levels after meal. Colleague said a reading under 10 2 hours after a meal was OK. I disagreed. Opinions?
7.3 is fine and cos you tested at one hour (not really necessary) and it showed that you were on the way down......Last night for dinner I had Thai Fishcakes with salad for starter followed by pan fried fillet of sea bass with spinach and crushed new potatoes - although I couldn't eat all of the potatoes because I was full! 1hour after I was 9.1 but after 2 hours I was down to 7.3 -didn't test again because I went to bed but was 5.9 this morning.
