My sugar was higher than normal first thing before breakfast at 10.2 and its usually in the 5s, I re tested two hours later and it was down to 6.2. After my evening meal of home cooked fish &chips peas, tomatoes and mushroom and the strawberries with sweetener I test 2 hrs after having taken my meds with the meal and it was 15.3 never had such a high reading and has worried me.
Hi, does that mean bananas are highest in sugars? Not sure what chart numbers actually are. Sorry to be dimView attachment 27970 Much depends on how many you eat as well as the carb content. Strawberries are relatively low carb but cherries are higher carb - almost twice that of strawberries. We are all different in our reactions to specific foods/fruits, but I wouldn't in your case draw a conclusion from the result of a single test.

Yes. My fault, I forgot to add that the chart showed grams of carbs per 100 gm of fruit/berries.Hi, does that mean bananas are highest in sugars? Not sure what chart numbers actually are. Sorry to be dim
Thank you. Banana sandwiches (on wholemeal bread) are my 'go to' lunches most days. I struggle with other health/mobility problems so easy foods are a must. My latest hba1c was 92 so dr not happy with me (nor I with myself). Genuinely don't know why so high tho. On metformin and sitaglyptin. Waiting for appt to discuss an additional tabletYes.

The link that @Brunneria posted probably show things in an easier interpreted format.
I can eat a small portion of chips, but no peas or sweetcornI would not be able to eat the chips or the peas.
I would think banana sandwiches might be why your latest HbA1c was 92. Have you thought about eating fewer carbs? I have a salad for lunch with cheese, tuna, avocado. Most supermarkets stock low carb soups say 10 to 12 gm carb per 300ml portion. These are relatively easy meals.Banana sandwiches (on wholemeal bread) are my 'go to' lunches most days.

Hi, I'm type 1, and for days my readings were showing as HI on reader. Worked out it was the strawberries, went for days feeling ******. Least I now knowafter keeping quite a good control on my blood sugar levels, I am on Metformin and Gliclazide my evening blood sugar reading has leapt to 15.3, I did have strawberries for dessert I tested after 2 hrs but have never had a reading that high before. I did do a lot of gardening today and felt very tired afterwards just wondered if strawberries and cherries are a no no with type 2
Thanks for that information, I have bought the book and it is really helpful and so easy to readReverse Your Diabetes by Dr David Cavan is a good intro to managing diabetes and diet. Good basic information.
If I ate a banana or bread of any kind my BG would rocket, as I suspect would most folk's.Thank you. Banana sandwiches (on wholemeal bread) are my 'go to' lunches most days.

Agree. The advice I have seen is that the riper the fruit the more glucose it contains, so green ones are better than the black ones for diabetics. The same goes for most fruits I think. Go green if you can.Hi depends what you eat the fructose component goes directly into the liver and produces liver fat and its impact does affect one in the long run but it doesn't immediately affect b.g.,!
The glucose component of say a banana has a big effect on my blood glucose so although I like them I would not touch them and not wash my hands before I checked my b.g.

On the other hand, the riper ones taste better in my opinion. So I choose very little of ripe fruit instead of a bit more of green.Agree.

Those taking Insulin have the opportunity to bolus or correct for high sugars, Moi, as a T2D on orals, does not have that luxury, so must make do and mend.On the other hand, the riper ones taste better in my opinion. So I choose very little of ripe fruit instead of a bit more of green.
I understand, and I didn't mean to speak about things I don't know about, being on insulin.Those taking Insulin have the opportunity to bolus or correct for high sugars, Moi, as a T2D on orals, does not have that luxury, so must make do and mend.
