Hi, all I`ve eaten today is 1 boiled egg (8 am) and about 50g of Italian cured ham (11 am) and at 2.15 my bg was 9.6. Does anybody have any idea what could cause this level?
Hi, I`m type 2, 4x500mg metformin per day and I was recently taken off gliclazide and my follow up hba1c was 6.6. Didn`t check my waking level but it is usually quite high, about 8. I just wondered if there was anything particularly bad about those foods.
The foods shouldn't have caused high readings. I'm type 1 on insulin so don't really know about your meds - hopefully someone will be along who can offer advise.

Hi chris5, nothing wrong with your food, but sometimes when our livers realise our bodies are doing something that requires more energy...we get a release of glucose , plus whatever you ate the previous day if it was carby will also have its effect

Hi, I don`t think I ever eat anything particularly carby nowadays to be honest. I`m a bit puzzled as to why I seem to get a lot of high readings when my latest hba!c (Thursday) was 6.6. I know this needs to come down but it`s the first one I`ve had since coming off gliclazide and I was worried it would be a lot higher.
I think your body's adjusting without the glicazide. It may take a few days to get to your hba1c levels. Just keep low carbing and get your fat levels ok. Everyone goes through this form of high levels when reducing g your meds. Let us know how you are doing.
