My name is Johnson, I was diagnosed pre-diabetic last year. As of recently I've been really paranoid about it as I haven't been eating that well. So yesterday I had lunch and I didn't quite realize that chipotle's rice bowls had so many calories and carbs , but on top of that I had tortilla chips with it (1300 calories, 122g of carbs) total. I typically only eat maybe one or two meals a day.
I have chronic anxiety disorder and am a very paranoid person. So I decided to buy a one-touch and some test strips to ease my worrying. Well 3 hours after I had eaten yesterday my blood sugar levels were 331. I was immediately freaked out after reading that the normal levels were somewhere around 140 after a meal, and from what I understand it doesn't matter the size of the meal.
Later in the day I had a 6oz salmon and some vegetables. About 3 hours after that I decided to go to sleep and tested my blood sugar again and it was 122. When I woke up this morning, (10 hours later) my level was 140. I'm still pretty shook up about everything, I'm assuming that I'm diabetic. I guess I won't know for sure until I see my doctor.
Anyways, I'll probably be asking a lot of questions, especially about food choices and such as I've done a lot of research and read a lot of conflicting information.
Thanks for reading,
