[QUOTE="poemagraphic, post: 2043952, member: 503830"] Hi Ian I like you often test after 1 hour and again 2hrs after meals. I find it helpful to watch how different foods raise BG levels. I have tested after 10 mins and again after 20 mins to see how quickly levels can change, and by how much. So same old story... DN said eat lots of potatoes, rice, etc etc etc. It does not take long looking on the interweb to see how wrong this 'guidance / advice' is . I am about to lower my carb intake this week from 100g avg a day to 70g. I have not started doing any exercise yet since leaving hospital a month ago. I cut the grass the other day and in less than an hour dropped my BG by half to 4.2. I do not intend to reduce my carb intake to below this level (70g a day) yet, until I see what the overall effect is over the next week. Po [/QUOTE]
