Advice please ... had a small glass of beer and a curry tonight .. gave the misses a night off .. now tested after the two hours of eating and I am 8.7 ... the wife will throw a fit .. have I undone everything .. or will it return to normal without too much harm.

all advice welcome ..
 
8.7 is an ok number with a curry - basically I find rice (like icecream) it is a 3 hour and not 2 hour post-prandial. See what happens in an hour or go and do a walk and help the levels go down
 
Relax one highish reading ( NICE upper limit 2 hours after a meal is 8,5)
Is not going to kill you.
Just don't make a habit of it :-)

I second the idea of the walk to help burn some of the sugar.
 
The sugar may not kill me but the wife will !!!!!!!
My need to drop the meter in a tub of ice water and order a new one .. Or can I remove the number on the meter ..LoL
 
Hehehe .. But if I change the wife my sugar will never come down !!!!!!!!

Edited to add ... This is wife number 2 .. Cannot afford to change again :sorry:

If it's a special occasion and only once in a while don't fret too much. Sometimes I think we have to have the occasional treat. I usually try and make up for it the next day by cutting down on carbs a bit more.
