I posted a couple of days ago, newly diagnosed.
I got a monitor yesterday so did my glucose before eating my evening meal. Then 2hrs after. I then did it this morning before breakfast and 2 hrs after. This is what I ate and what my readings were:
Glucose Readings
1st Feb - Before food 6.4
2hr After food 4.9
Meal - roast chicken, sprouts, sugar snap peas, broccoli, gravy.
2nd Feb - morning Before food 6.6 2hr After food 4.8
Meal - 2 x bacon rashers 2 x poached eggs, mushrooms
So minimal carbs, I know sugar snap peas and gravy will have more carbs and perhaps I should avoid in future.
can anyone explain why my readings are lower after eating?
I’ve read up about reactive hypoglycaemia but that seems to be after a carb heavy me which these haven’t been.
thanks
