[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1580555, member: 94045"] Testing before and after all meals (2 hours after first bite and keep going after 2 hours in the evenings to see why you are high at bedtime) is the way to make discoveries, and keeping a food diary including all ingredients of the meal and portion sizes is more than useful. You can record your before and after levels alongside your food and look for patterns. This gives you the chance to reduce carb portions or eliminate some. Try to keep any rise from before to after under 2mmol/l, preferably less. More than that and there are too many carbs in that meal. . Portion size is important. Also meal timing. If you can't get your bedtime levels down, try eating an hour earlier. Exercise is weird. In some it helps lower blood glucose. In others it raises BG. I know it raises mine - today I vacuumed the downstairs rooms with a heavy vacuum cleaner. My levels rose by 1.5mmol/l from before to after, no food involved. I find a normal gentle to brisk 20 minute walk is better than anything strenuous. You may differ, and you mustn't let this put you off your normal exercise routine, just be aware it can, in some people, raise levels. [/QUOTE]
