Then you would discover if you have coped well with the amount of carbs in that meal or not. If the post meal levels are more than 2 mmol higher than the pre meal, then you need to rethink that meal next time. In no time at all you will have figured out what you can eat and what you need to avoid.The HbA1c measures the amount of glucose that has stuck to your blood cells, so it's a kind of 12week averageYour meter measures in mmol and tells you what your glucose levels are now</blockquote>
