[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 346335, member: 56231"] I'll start with an apology - I know that these figures are really not bad, and that some people are battling much higher figures (cos I know I always mind a bit when someone complains that they can't get below a 6 or whatever...) BUT, that said, I just don't understand the relationship between my bg's and eating. To take today as an example - I never actually test first thing, because I think I have dawn phenomenon. So, bearing in mind I had a breakfast that had 7g carbs total: I went for a long walk after breakfast, and a long walk before lunch, no snacks or anything in between (I never snack) - my 1pm pre-lunch reading was 7.6. That's very much on the higher side for me - I'm thrilled with fives, sixes are typical, sevens are disappointing, and eights even more so (although I've only ever had one 8). Then, two hours post a zero carb lunch - 5.9. How can my sugar be lower after a meal than before it? (And that seems to happen quite often). And two hours after a 21g carb dinner it was 6.6. So still lower than my pre-lunch. Could I still be having dawn phenomenon at 1pm? Does exercise raise sugar in the short term (the reading was immediately after a long walk).? Am I over thinking this? :) One reason I want to know reasons is that the 7g of carbs in my breakfast came from a slice of Burgen bread, and if it means I shouldn't have Burgen again, that's fine, I don't really mind much, I'm trying to keep to as close to zero carbs as possible.
