Hi
So just did my first post food 2 hour test. It was 5.9 which is good right? I had homemade muesli (oats, but of all bran, seeds and nuts) with skimmed milk and a coffee.

I apologise now if I get too posty!!

that sounds very good, Deb. I would suggest you try the same meal a few times and then check if the results after a couple of hours are similar. If they are always good, then it will be safe to eat these foods.

It is a bit of trial and error, really. 5.9 is a great result.

Do post every meal, if you like. It is interesting for us all to see what you eat and what responses you get. Who knows... me may learn something from you as well

Lunch today was tomato, veg and barley soup with cucumber and hummus.

Pre was 4.8
Post two hours later was 5.7

Couldn't test afternoon snack as I cocked up my last two strips while I was out.

Pre dinner was 4.8 at 6pm...

I think it's weird how the morning fast was highest reading of the day!

Deb, you pre and post prandial BG readings look great to me. Wish mine were as consistent as yours.

Thanks. I'm quite shocked that they seem so low and am worried I'm not doing it right. Maybe I should do an hour after food?

After dinner and 2hrs 20mins the reading was 5.6.

Having a snack now but won't test it as my finger needs a break!

I've been anally strict though about what I'm eating :-(
