[QUOTE="Mags52, post: 19388, member: 1365"] Hi Folks The other night I had some strange BG results so thought someone on here might be able to explain them for me. I was out with friends and had scampi and chips in the pub (I know! :oops: ) and soda water and lime. Then after an hour we went off and played an hour of really hard badminton. I had this vague idea that the hard exercise would offset the high carb meal. After I got home (by now 3 hours after eating) my BG was 11.3 - not great. Then after another half hour I realised that I'd forgotten to wash my hands before testing so did it again - it was 12! So I tested before bed (now 4 hours since eating) and it was 12.8. I was confused and a bit worried. I am not taking medication at the moment although this is to be reviewed in November. I hardly ever eat high carb unhealthy food but it feels pretty grim to think that a very occasional diversion into the land of normality (and not even any beer!) can have such a bad effect. My BG results 3 hours after eating are usually about 8.5 Any thoughts? Thanks Mags [/QUOTE]
