Today I experienced shakiness and nausea, along with some vague body symptoms, which signified low blood sugar, something I've experienced before. However my blood sugar readings were at 4.4 - 5.0 mmol, lower than my fasting but still normal. I admittedly had more sugary foods today due to a...

Had a chicken, veg and gravy dinner and some bread on the side tonight. Checked my blood sugar about 50 minutes after, because my symptoms were starting to show. It was 10.8 mmol which seems high. I think I read somewhere that even immediately after eating, sugar shouldn't go over 7.8 mmol. Was...

Let me preface by saying I'm still under investigation. My Hba1c came back as slightly but not definitively raised, and my fasting blood glucose is very good at 4.9-5.6 mmol. However its post meal recordings that have me and my doctor worried, to the point that he's confused entirely with what...
