I got my blood tester on Friday. So perfect to start on Saturday 1st of the month. Decided to test on a gradual basis after a different meal each day. First reading before breakfast on Saturday was 6.6. Piece of wholemeal toast and butter and 2 hours later was 6.
Sunday before breakfast was 6. Just before lunch it was 4.9. Tuna and mayo sandwich with lettuce, blueberry biscuit moments and 2 hours later 5.7.
Today 5.3 early this morning. Just before dinner 4.7. Bacon and scrambled egg for tea, plus a couple of rich tea fingers (not good I know, but just gave into the craving). 2 hours later it was 4.8. Although as part of my new routine I had been going for an evening walk, I missed it tonight due to getting back late/ rain.
Are my readings ok, they seem very low compared to the ones I read on here, am concerned they are too low. Whilst I don't know for sure as I don't have any scales, my clothes don't feel as tight.
As you can see I haven't managed to cut out carbs altogether, but have cut down (no potatoes for over a week -and I have cooked them for others in my family). Swapped to wholemeal bread. Have averaged about 110g carbs per day for the last week.
