Hi

I’m testing a bit more now to get feel for it.
I was 5.6 on waking which seems progress considering only diagnosed 12 weeks ago with hbac1 70

I had smoked salmon Greek yogurt blueberries and two crackers so a big breakfast and 15 g carbs maybe even 20

just tested there two hrs after and I got 4.7 is this a good sign that I’m tolerating carbs but better I thought always go up after eating?
Thanks Paul
 
Great progress in such a short space of time.
Back to baseline @ 2 hours is a great sign, you must have made some big changes.
Some will advise to test at 1 hour next time to see if there's a large spike going unnoticed.
Staying below 7.8 seems to be many folks aspirations but perhaps this may be a touch strict.

Sounds like you're going to nail your next HbA1c.
