Another question!

[Matthew1990]

Evening all.

Before my evening meal today I scored 9.1mmol pretty high yes but think it was because the wholemeal sandwiches I had at dinner took time to enter my bloodstream etc.

1 hour and 50 mins after food (scrambled egg and beans on wholemeal toast) before leaving for football I scored 5.7.
1 hour and 40 mins after football just checked and scored 9.1mmol.
Injected 2 units of humalog before meals btw and 6 lanthus for 24 hour

Can someone explain, is this good?

 

[Matthew1990]

Just checked again before supper and it was 6.6 at 10.30pm to hours after being 9.1 and 5.7 before football

As a Type 1 your 2 hr post meal readings should be no higher than 9 mmol/l.

Therefore your current readings would appear to be in order.

Any idea why after football I scored from 5.7 to 9.1?

Was it the foot entering the bloodstream and the exercise?

Yes. It would be down to a combination of food and exercise. Your Bg levels will fluctuate due to many variables. Heat/cold/stress/exercise/illness/medication/food etc.........
