Eggs are good they go well with bacon.Thanks everyone - looks like I have to do some shopping and buy some better food for myself.
Because my fridge is full of my favorites that is certainly not good for me.
But now I know- I can have a omelette
Know what the scary thing is with pizza? It's called the Pizza Effect. They spike high, but they spike slow. It's one of those foods that contain a lot of carbs, and a lot of fats... And fats slow down the uptake of carbs. Would be a good thing if it was just a bit of carbs, but alas, pizza has a lot of them so... You probably missed the highest spike. Probably came at 3 or 4 hours after the first bite.Okay - Round 2
Before dinner: 6.7
Dinner - was only a oven pizza bought from the shops ..
2 hours later: blood sugar was 12.1
I also, took one tablet .
Wow ! no more of these pizza,s - blood sugar level nearly doubled
And quite often they spike twice because of that combination of fats and carbs I have when eating a pizza had a spike then a drop then a spike again and the effect can last many hours I have not now eaten pizza in well over a year.It's called the Pizza Effect. They spike high, but they spike slow
Might still be high due to the pizza, but more likely Dawn Phenomenon. Our fasting blood sugars are the last to come down. Don't panic, you're still on the right track.Yeah! I think the pizza was a big mistake and a lesson to be learned.
This morning- I skipped breakfast ( don't know if this was the right thing to do ) - but before I was going to eat my lunch ( omelette again ) - I checked my sugar level and was surprised to see it was 9.0 - will check again in 2 hours time.
I have also took one tablet.
Thank you for the support - it is down again to 6.6Might still be high due to the pizza, but more likely Dawn Phenomenon. Our fasting blood sugars are the last to come down. Don't panic, you're still on the right track.
I thought so- I said to the wife - that the pastry will probably be the kicker !!!!
So we can offer some tips, we need to know more about your hba1c and diet details.Hi there - just found this forum last night and thought I would join.
I have diabetes 2 and last night, after dinner and took my ( Metformin tablet ) I checked my blood sugar level and it was 11.2 - I was really surprised and sad, as it's never usually that high- then this morning checked it again - it was 10.6 ( still to eat my breakfast and take my tablet - then I will check my sugar level in 90 mins time- plus I will also go for a walk with my dog.
I take one tablet in the morning and one at night time around 8 pm with dinner ( 500mg ).
Maybe I need to take 3 tablets a day ? I will try and phone my doctor and ask him, would should I do.
I am 60 years of age - still working as a tiler over here in Sweden and I miss all the sweeties and ice cream- and my coco pops !!!
Anyway, Glad I found this forum - as it's good to hear from other members who have diabetes 2 who are struggling with this every day and has changed our lives- know what I mean ?
