[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2121370, member: 506169"] Hi IainG, Compared to you I'm a newbie, but perhaps I can give you a different perspective. Firstly huge congratulations on the weight loss and on getting into and staying in the pre-diabetic range! Second, as has been mentioned by others, stress, depression, lack of sleep, illness and other things apart from diet/exercise can affect your BG readings. Third, it seems that for most of us, our diet has a much larger effect than does the type and amount of exercise, beyond a basic 5 x 30min walk per week. Fourth, just 'eat to your meter' and count carbs. Small tweaks to your diet may help - for example cream in coffee rather than milk (milk contains natural sugars and the lower fat it is the worse for Type 2 diabetics), do you buy Sardines in Oil rather Sardines in Sauce - in Oil will have fewer carbs. etc. Use your meter to test different food so that you know what works best for you. If you reduce the BG spikes, then everything else will follow - though more slowly. [/QUOTE]
