Ooh that is good to know, thank you.

I was thinking the same Thank you, I can relax a little now.

Thank you, I will stop worrying now - I have never had high post meal numbers only high fasting numbers.

Yes, I had the same earlier with lower numbers - shame I like being nocturnal lol.

At 21:00 my bg was 5.5, I then ate 2 boiled eggs, 22:30 bg was 5.8, then at 23:00 was 6.2 - I assumed the numbers would be lower after 2 hours post eating? Makes no sense to me - wondering why I bother.

I think it is a case of my body not being used to low 5's - it prefers to run at approx 5.7 to 6's.

Hi Ziggy my BG does not fall fast as far as I am aware, but then again I am new to this, so havn't tested that often.

Thank you - I shall keep an eye on it.

Thank you for your reply - I did wash my hands before testing - doctors are not interested, as I am not yet pre-diabetes, but one point (41) away from it, so I decided to try and get my levels down before it becomes pre-diabetes - doctors say my levels are fine and not to self-test or worry etc.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on your post mountaintom, as I my get answers to my question that is similar to yours. There I was thinking'I'm being so good, going low carb with a reading of 5.7 this morning, then i wasn't hungry so didin't bother eating anything, just felt tired, went to...

I was thinking whilst going around Tesco today - I wonder if there is anything such as low carb ice-cream - but didin't even bother looking, as I assumed ice-cream would be full of sugar and went to the youghurt section instead - good to know these things exist.

Oh its the gravy!!! There I was thinking I was being very good trying so hard to lose weight and eating boiled broccolli, cabbage, carrots, swede, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower all in small portions in a bowel, every meal day in day out for months on end with gravy and wondering why I was...

Luckily the Vit D and HDL are good - thank you for mentioning that.

Yes, we can both put it down to low iron.

Thank you so much for all your help - I now have the answer I have low iron.

Thank you for replying - yes my home readings are a little lower than 18 months ago. I have never been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes, it was just I noticed my HB was at 41 - 1 point away from pre-diabetes, and I decided to lose weight etc, even though the doctor was not worried, and...

Well done you - I am so pleased for you. I notice your HB thingy has gone down a lot, could anyone advise on why mine has stayed at 41 for 18 months, yet I have lost 2.5 stone doing low carb, plus my cholesterol ratio has gone down to 2.9 from 3.2 - I assumed that the hb thingy would also go...

I know this sounds hard to believe but I am in shock - my morning readings are above 6 always - until I added pre-biotics to my coffee and after the 1st day; my morning reading was 5.4 - I have never ever been this low!! I am only on day 4 of using pre-biotics, so I will keep you up-dated.

I put this to the test - I tested my bloods after a cup of latte with 65g of carbs per 100g. I mixed my prebiotic in the latte and tested after 90 mins - my blood sugar was 5.5 - the lowest it has ever been - I know this is a one-off, but I was amazed.
