Lat night (Sunday) I had a good 2 hour reading of 8.1, which I double checked with a second test giving the same result. . All well and good but my 3.25 hour test (which I was hoping would be 7 point something) first came out as 9.5, repeated giving 8.5. Bit disappointing. . Hoping that was a blip, I did a test just before going to bed which gave 9.5. This was 5 hours after I'd eaten anything at all! Fasting test this morning was an excellent (for me this year) 8.8.
Dinner was a home made chicken and bean stew. My total carbs for the day were over my 200 target at 225 or so. I'm guessing the carbs in beans are low GI and its them that were causing these later readings.
If I live to be 100, I'll never fully understand this BG stuff!
