Evening all.

Before my evening meal today I scored 9.1mmol pretty high yes but think it was because the wholemeal sandwiches I had at dinner took time to enter my bloodstream etc.

1 hour and 50 mins after food (scrambled egg and beans on wholemeal toast) before leaving for football I scored 5.7.
1 hour and 40 mins after football just checked and scored 9.1mmol.
Injected 2 units of humalog before meals btw and 6 lanthus for 24 hour

Can someone explain, is this good?
 
Just checked again before supper and it was 6.6 at 10.30pm to hours after being 9.1 and 5.7 before football
 
As a Type 1 your 2 hr post meal readings should be no higher than 9 mmol/l.

Therefore your current readings would appear to be in order.
 
Any idea why after football I scored from 5.7 to 9.1?

Was it the foot entering the bloodstream and the exercise?
 
Yes. It would be down to a combination of food and exercise. Your Bg levels will fluctuate due to many variables. Heat/cold/stress/exercise/illness/medication/food etc.........
