BS readings

Can I have an opinion please??

Pre lunch 7.2 (higher than normal cos I was late having lunch I think)

Had oats so simple porridge oats - original- with whole milk- 27g sachet (20 carbs gulp!)

Post lunch I hour 7.6
2 hours 9.0
3 hours 8.6

Will test again at 4 hours.... 6.7 (which is normal ish for me at the moment)

I can't tolerate any wheat products at all so I thought it would prob be a no but thought I would try. I don't normally go above low 7s any more at all so 9 was a shock. My instinct is that it's a no for the future? Or maybe only if I am in the 5s to start with?

Any thoughts?

You didn't go up by over 2mmol/l so that isn't too bad, but you have stayed up there a long time. I wouldn't be happy at 3 hours being higher than when I started.
 
Pre-dinner 5.0

@ 2 hours 6.2

Better than lunchtime (and included a roast potato and tablespoon of stuffing!?)
 
6.3 which was a bit surprising given pre bed exercise ...... but it was after being awake for an hour or two.

The plus is NO trembling at all in stead of the usual ten minutes. No statins? Getting accustomed to that? Dunno, but I like it.
 
So 3hrs post lunch 5.6
4hrs 4.5 so ate some smoked turkey and 1 sq dark chocolate in cinema
No pre dinner
Post dinner 5.8
 
My highest reading of the day so far is 6.5, and that was my fasting. I reported on the fasting thread about this. 6.5 is my highest ever since getting my meter back in April. Normally 5.6. I tested 3 times with different fingers and got 6.5 on each of the 3 times. My after breakfast rise was much lower than normal, indicating to me that the three 6.5 readings were false and down to strip errors. All other readings today have been as expected.
 
4hrs after lunch I was 4.4
pre dinner 4 hrs after that 4.5
no idea what post will be as I'll be asleep- had quite possibly the vilest microwave curry ever from Asda- left most of sauce as it was just orange and hot.
 
I had a large chippy fish tonight with chippy mushy peas and a piece of my Hovis, followed by a mug of tea. I stole one chip.
Pleased with the result
5.4 before
6.8 at an hour
6.8 at 2 hours
6.1 at 2.5hrs.
 
OMG I hope you can feel me grinning here like a fool:D

5.2 Fasting/before breakfast
6.9 after breakfast

I really hope this means that my liver is finally coming around .... I would do a happy dance, but the people in the office are already looking at me funny :)
