[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2146950, member: 511345"] I second HSSS advice. Having other random readings may be useful but to start I also recommend before food and 2 hours after. If the [I]increase [/I]is less than 2 then that meal is okay. If the increase is more than 2 then at least part of the meal is too high in carbs for your body. Again as HSSS says exercise can also increase your bs levels. I initially became really paranoid about this and limited my exercise- don't follow my example. I have seen some suggestions to eat something with a few carbs (not many) before exercise to limit the rise. As long as the teen is heading downwards you are doing great. Don't expect your body to appreciate it straightaway. The body is used to running at higher bs levels and will resist going down. As HSSS said a real hypo is less than 4 so don't worry too much about symptoms when the level is higher then that- the body will adjust again. You are doing great! [/QUOTE]
