[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2377081, member: 480869"] My fasting is typically the same as yours and it’s not acceptable to me. Though during the day I’m pleased if I get into the 5’s as it’s too often stuck in the 6’s. I actually want to reach 4’s and 5’s pre meals but it’s proving elusive. Meals never take me more than 2mmol over pre eating, often less at the 2hr mark. I’m 50 and likely had insulin resistance issues for 20yrs diagnosed 3 yrs ago. 30g of carbs is what I aim for in a day not a meal. Breakfast is often the meal where carbs are the most problematic to deal with due to insulin resistance being highest then (and if you’ve also got fasting numbers in the prediabetic range already even more of an issue). I wouldn’t eat toast, especially not early in the day. A different choice would definitely bring those numbers closer. Usually we check after 2 hrs not nearly 4hrs. A non diabetic would be back close to the pre meal reading in most situations after wars let alone 4. I suspect both your fasting and daily figures would improve if you didn’t hit the system so hard first thing. Why not give it a try for a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
