Hello there,
My name is Leah, I just turned 28. Weight 197, height 5'7, family history of type 2 diabetes. currently losing weight (about 1lb per week) and exercise about 20 minutes each day primarily sedentary besides that, but I'm working on it.
I live in the U.S. so excuse my imperial measurements
As you know, healthcare is expensive here and since I can buy a glucose monitoring set I went ahead and did that and have recently been tracking sugar. My family history has me wanting to become vigilant about avoiding diabetes if I can.
My morning measurements are usually around 90-95.
However, after breakfast (typically cereal or oatmeal) my sugar ranges from 160-230! Oddly enough, if I eat cake later in the day, my sugar will be back down below 100 after about an hour or two and might not peak past 130. Between meals, my sugar might go as low as 70-79.
So I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this; sugars that only spike high after high carb meals, even though they don't reach that high in the evenings and are normal otherwise.
Thanks so much.
