I am trying to get to grips with my T2 numbers and have been testing 3 times daily. This is first thing in the morning, before my evening meal and 2 hours after.
Although I am retired I still manage my meals like I did when I worked. I worked in an environment where there wasn't time for lunch most of the time and I never normally eat breakfast unless staying in a hotel etc.
My DP figure can be relatively high i.e., 9.x and is always a lot higher than my post 2 hour figure taken at circa 2100 hours.
Over the last 30 days the overall average of my 2 evening figures would see an HBA1C of circa 45 if it was maintained over 90 days. But when I add in my morning figure it would be circa 56.
I am seeing my 2 hour figure showing significantly less than a plus 2 increase on average.
So my HBAIC will show potentially an increase from 45 to 56 based purely on the DP which in itself is not being spiked by food?
Not every day, but I have at random taken my reading at 4 hours after my evening meal to see whether there has been a later increase but this has not been the case.
What do I need to understand?
