[QUOTE="Hiitsme, post: 1339095, member: 181310"] Hi and welcome [USER=364331]@Bill_Dundee[/USER] Testing before and 2 hours after was what helped me to gain some control. My sugars were a lot higher than yours to begin with and it took me several weeks to get any control. Please don't panic with Christmas here, there will be plenty of time afterwards to work at getting control. When Daisy posts there will be lots of information but you will need to take it slowly. We are all different but for me the worst thing was breakfast cereal and it took me a long time to come to terms with that. As soon as I changed to eggs things started to improve for me. By testing you will find out what works for you, Do ask questions and people will try and help. As [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] says a spike of 2 two hours after a meal is acceptable. If I had cereal I had spikes of 4 or 5 and even trying different ones didn't seem to make any difference. That doesn't mean it will be the same for you but testing will show you what works and what is better avoided. [/QUOTE]
