Hi all,
New type 2.
Got a Libre 2 sensor today and started experimenting.
When I had my blood test last week and diagnosis, my hba1c was 96/10.9. Been limiting carbs a bit more (around 100g a day), and this morning the sensor gave me 69/8.5 when I woke up. Appreciate the hba1c is three month average and spikes affect it.
Now I'm testing my tolerance, so this morning I had a pretty chunky crust piece of brown toast for breakfast, along with some yogurt and blueberries and peanut butter.
These were the results:
8.5 ( 8:10am, immediately before)
10 (9.10 am, 1 hour later)
8.9 (9.33am, 1.5 hours later)
My two hour number was hampered by the fact I had to have more yog and blueberries because I'd forgotten my Metformin (first ever time taking it), so that was 9.4.
It's three hours later and I'm on 8.3.
Now, I know my numbers are high but it's only been a week and I'm working on getting them down, but here's my question - because that spike stayed inside two points, will it likely do that when my numbers are better? Or am I getting my hopes up that I can manage a slice of bread?
Rice for lunch, will see how that goes.
