[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1727162, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome to the forum, Well done on getting your life back together, and for deciding to follow a low carb diet. As for the silly high reading on your meter, it could have been for any reason - corrupted strip, dirty finger, human error, or what you ate for that meal. I hope it was a dodgy strip. :) I suggest you start a structured regime of testing alongside a food diary. Test before you eat and 2 hours after first bite. Look at the rise from before to after. More than 2mmol/l (preferably less) there were too many carbs on your plate. Recording levels in the food diary along side the food will help you recognise the foods that raise your levels as patterns will emerge. It is not wise to stop testing or to only test occasionally and randomly. This leads to the slippery slope or complacency. [/QUOTE]
