A quick one. We all know various foods spike our numbers but I find 2 hours after weetabix or 2 slices granary bread my 5.8 ish is only maybe 6.2. Does that mean I’m ok ?

What were you before eating?A quick one. We all know various foods spike our numbers but I find 2 hours after weetabix or 2 slices granary bread my 5.8 ish is only maybe 6.2. Does that mean I’m ok ?
Out of interest have you tried again at 3hrs in case of a delayed spike? What was the before eating reading, is that the 5.8?
In that case looks ok as a "treat".. but I still wouldn't make a habit of it personally.It was 5.8
To test the effect of food you should test approximately 1 hour after you started eating. By waiting for 2 hours you are completely missing the main event - the spike in your blood glucose. Spikes are not good for you. Don't take any notice of NHS staff who recommend only testing after 2hrs by which time your levels may have significantly dropped.A quick one.
