I have never tested after meals. But I think in order to improve my hba1c which was last time 80, I think looking more carefully at what my blood sugars do might help? I follow DAFNE.
I always test before meals, varied tesults no pattern as such. Today I had for breaky 1 grilled egg, 2 bacon, some baked beans (not measured) and 1 slice toast. Blood sugar before breakky was 12.1 which I took 1 unit for and 4units for beans n toast. 2 hrs latermy blood sugar is 15.
My question is, do people do correction doses if high 2 hrs after a meal or is it best not to? I know I need to keep testing b4 and after and to try to eat balanced meals ( am trying to lose weight). I dont really know how my insulin levels are with different foods, cept chinese takeaway which endz up with high bg no matter what I inject!
