I would consider that a good result - I had a similar result after Pizza a month if so ago.I thought I'd try out what would happen if I ate an ultra thin pizza from m and s. (Well, I was in need of a treat and I really fancied it). Before lunch my BG was 5.2. Two hours later it had jumped to 7.8, the highest it has been since I started testing myself. One hour later I tested again and it was down to 4.2,my lowest yet. I wonder if the 7.8 was a rogue reading or if it is normal to drop down so quickly?
Wow,Will do! Haven't had any for six months. I thought 8.5 was the top for diabetics.

8.5 is the stated top for diabetics, but the majority of members on this site prefer to keep their BG in the normal/non diabetic range. Some even aim tighter than that.

Wow,
I would almost be happy to have a normal BS of 8.5. I have secondary diabetes caused my pancreas problems and I can go from a hypo to 19 or more within a couple of hours. I take insulin and metformin but it's a real rollercoaster when it comes to stabilising my BS. I am on a strict diet now which has helped but won't realistically be something I can keep up forever.

Yes. I tested at 2 hours and then at 3. By three hrs post prandial it was right down to 4.2
