Blood sugar 128 an hour after eating Sushi with rice?

[JoeyK]

I took it before I ate and it was 78 (I take 1 500 mg of Metformin a day. I just took it twice now and it was 128. From what I read online that is ok? What's weird is I was sure it was going to be like 200 because my feet felt pins and needles and my mouth felt a bit dry after I eat....maybe it's a food intolerance and not high sugar?

That's (128) not too bad at all but (1) when did you test? (2) why are you eating rice?

 

[JoeyK]

about an hour after I started eating. I was just wondering what it would be if I ate carbs since I hadn't in 3 weeks.

 

[Mike d]

Testing should be (for you and after eating that stuff) at 1 and 2 hours.

 

[JoeyK]

It was 78 before and 128 an hour after (I'm in the US)

 

[Mike d]

I know where you're at @JoeyK .... but 2 hours test is a must. Just do it otherwise it is pointless to offer help. That's diabetes 101

 

[JoeyK]

So 2 hours where should it be

 

[Mike d]

NO. Before first bite, then 1 hour 2 hour and 3 hour if you're gonna play with fire and see what you can tolerate

 

[JoeyK]

No I meant if it was 128 after and hour it can go up at 2 hours? I know it should go down but how much.

 

[Mike d]

Of course it can, based on what you eat .... by rights, you'd want to see it going down. The incessant wondering (if it's not doing my head in) should be affecting you the same way. Try it, test and you should know by now we cannot predict numbers.

In fact it could still be on the rise after two hours if it has affected you badly I have tested at three hours in the past and have found numbers slightly raised from the two hour test.
