Thank you, LinsT for your encouragement - I certainly need it!Hi Beelady and welcome to the forum. You know - this reading isn't actually all that bad in terms of the actual rise in BG. You were 11.1 before the meal and 11.9 after - so as far as I can see the meal you ate didn't do much damage - a rise of 0.8 is pretty good
The issue is your overall readings being a little too high. It took around 3 weeks of low carb eating for my blood sugars to stabalise, so I really wouldn't panic about this at the moment.
Today I had lettuce leaf wrap with tomato and cheese. Then tonight an avocado with tinned tuna and a boiled egg. Right now I feel very full and not missing any sweet stuff. I know I must knuckle down and get myself sorted out!
At the moment this is all a big learning curve.
