[QUOTE="Sarah-b, post: 842651, member: 142223"] 6 minutes ago[B] · [/B] Hello - I'm newly diagnosed Type 2 after having an A1C of 51. My GP has not prescribed meds, just given (pretty sketchy) nutritional advice. They said a blood sugar monitor was unnecessary but I bought one as I want to deduce which foods cause spikes in myself. So today I have been tracking my blood sugar and am a bit confused by the results. Morning: Before food after 2 cups tea 1/2 tsp sugar (am cutting down from 2!!) per cup - 7.8 Lunch - roasted tomatoes, wholegrain multiseed bread, butter 2hrs after - 12.8 4hrs after - 5.1 Tea 1/2 sugar one hour after - 10.8 Why has my blood sugar jumped from 5.1 4hrs after lunch to 10.8 - all I've had is the cup of tea, was it the 1/2 tsp sugar? I'm somewhat confused as to what I should be doing regarding my diet, on one hand I've been told to have starchy foods at every meal and on the other to switch to a high protein diet. It's a minefield!! Many thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
