Please can anyone advise? Some background info before I come to my question. At 9pm last night my blood reading was 7.4. I then had 1 Ryvita with peanut butter. At 8.20am this morning my blood reading was 9.3. I then had 50grams (unprepared) porridge and a black coffee with (at the most) a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar. I added oat milk to make the porridge. An hour later my reading was 13.3. A further one hour (so 2 hours total) the trading was 12.6. Any thoughts? Even though porridge is low to medium on the glycemic index I wonder if it's a case that it doesn't suit everyone? Could it be that I'm not pushing out as much insulin? I'm confused because I hear that porridge or oats are great for diabetes.
By the way, my morning fasting readings were never brilliant, even if I don't have any supper. But they seem to be a little higher just lately.
I take one Metformin 500mg am and one pm.
Thanks in anticipation of your advice.
