Hi All,
Any clue?
I have recently been diagnosed as type 2 (aparently very boarderline pre diabetes) 0.1 point into diabetic levels.
Firstly, on Sat I tested at lunch before my meal (after an hour at the gym earlier in the day) 5.8 which i was pleased about - that night had a meal at the father in laws!!
Beef bourguignon, rice and a small peice of Garlic bread + dessert smallish peice of chocolate roulade with small piece of light ice cream - tested mysel 2 hours later expecting the worse and this time 5.6!!
I "normally" test between 5.2 and 6.8 when being very good (low carbs, salad, grilled chicken etc) is this normal?
Also, since diagnosed 2 weeks ago, I have started eating healty and going to the gym 4-5 times a week plus going out for a walk at lunch etc rather than sitting at my desk - how long does it usually take to see a change in your blood sugar levels, is this an instant thing or over time?
Thanks
Darren
