Hi,
I was Diagnosed with Diabetes for 2 weeks and am really trying to understand what makes it increase/decrease etc.
Yesterday my BS level was 6.3 in the morning- amazing!!! Although did go up to 11.7 that morning- and l was left with an awful headache and a bit of dizziness.
Today my BS level was 8.8 this morning then 6.8 before lunch then 17.1 before dinner! What would have caused it to go up so much? I had a nice healthy salad and fish for lunch. Although l was a little naughty and treated myself to a Chai tea latte (for getting my BS down) then on the way home had a Sharon Fruit and some pomegranets. Now lm being very good eating only healthy foods- would this one slip up of a Chai tea increase my BS levels that much? And by reading these blogs l thought carbs would increase it more than a bit of sugar.
Confused- Jo x
