[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2481648, member: 548675"] Your figures all seem normal to me, and your food choices good (diabetics need to be wary of bananas but I see nothing in your figures that suggest that you are diabetic). Blood sugar rises and falls whether you eat or not (not that 6.2 counts as high). Just eat when you’re hungry/when you would normally have your meals. You don’t need to check your blood sugar to see if you’re allowed to eat. The reason that T2 diabetics check their sugar before a meal is just to have a baseline to compare with when they check 2 hours later (to make sure it hasn’t risen by more than 2mmol). But because your blood sugars are pretty normal from what I can see, you probably don’t even need to bother with that. Just do a two hours after check if you’re curious as to what effect your particular meal had and if it’s high (for a non-diabetic I’d probably count >7.5 at two hours as high) then rethink the contents of that meal for another time.
