No need to go back to the GP just yet, and all he would do is increase your medication.If you are going up by a minimum of 3mmol/l you are eating too many carbs in those meals - more than your personal carb tolerance. You need to keep it below 2mmol/l at all times. This will require smaller portions of carbs and/or eliminating some, which is where a food diary comes in handy so you can see how much of what you ate. 200g of yogurt plus blueberries plus strawberries is a lot of carbs/sugar for breakfast. If I were you I would discontinue with this breakfast and go over to something with eggs such as an omelet, or plain boiled eggs, or bacon and eggs, or cold meats and cheese. It is good that you are not snacking as that helps a lot, and of course no sweets or cakes is also good, but it does appear you need to really reduce those carbs as you haven't reduced them down to your personal tolerance level yet. I suspect smaller portions would be beneficial for you.</blockquote>
