Excellent. So do you monitor 1 hour testing or stick to the 2 hour window and before meals? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Didn't check but usually around the 5 area, rarely over 6. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi everyone, What are your thoughts on levels 1 hour after eating compared to 2? For example this evening I had 50g of whole meal pasta with some meatballs. 1 hour after my reading was 7.1 2 hours after my reading was 6.2 Is the 7.1 anything to worry about or not? Furthermore is the 6.2...

Got a batch of these in the oven as we speak! Quick question, is there any reason I can't keep using the Waitrose ground almonds compared to the others linked below? Difference in carbs per 100g Waitrose (finely ground in a machine) - 7.3g Almond flour - 20g

Didn't have a pizza in the end as I didn't feel like having one which is good :D For lunch 2 hours ago I had a white baguette with chicken tikka, a few crisps on the side and salad. Reading just now was 7.7 and I think my meter reads a tad high.

Had a few more tests done after dinner, all below the 5 mark. I might be going out for a pizza tonight so I will make sure to test after that, is it frowned upon to do this sort of "research" to see how high my sugar goes in a way? It may sound silly but I am just curious as to what this will...

Reading tonight 2 hours after eating a turkey curry with a garlic naan thy had 80g of carbs: 5.6

Just thought I would add my experience with dieting over the past 12 months. I've lost a total of 11 stone since this time last year, lots and lots of exercise (mainly lifting weights) and a diet that most on here would consider a bit lazy! High protein, low sugar but my carb intake wasn't...

Got my own testing kit through today so I will see what other foods do to my levels. Could my diabetes only effect me if I am overweight, I know the old argument of once a diabetic always a diabetic but my readings are a little mysterious...

Nope nothing at all. I was on metformin for a while but was told I no longer need it months ago.

Update, here is what I have eaten today: 3 egg omlette with quorn sausage for breakfast Large salad with chicken, cucumber, a big helping of crotons and mayonaise, 1 whole meal pitta all for lunch Fillet steak with a medium sized jacket potato and low salt/sugar baked beans. 2 hours after...

Tonight I'm having a steak with jacket potato, so I will take my readings 2 hours after that and report back. No gym for me today either so lets see what effect it has...

Hi everyone, Bit of background, I was told I was Type 2 this time last year, was massively overweight and in bad health. Since then I've lost a load of weight, come off metformin for 3 months and feel great. I've always been told not to worry about taking my levels by my GP as I have been...

Hi everyone, first post for me here. Bit of background info, I was diagnosed with Type 2 in September 2011. I have been on Metformin since then and am currently on 2 tablets in the morning and 1 in the evening. Since September I've lost a massive amount of weight and ate sensibly and told my...
