Hi. My partner type 2 is experiencing highs after meals. Been type 2 for 2 years and well manages her diet. Is having physio at the moment could this affect her numbers. Not on insulin on metphormin and gliclasied. Sorry if spelt wrong. Last couple of days still 12 2 to 3 hours after normal meal.
 
Can you tell us what she is before she eats? It is important to know this as it is the increase from before to after that matters, and also what exactly did she eat?
 
So many things can affect blood sugar levels, you mentioned physiotherapy.

Pain, new medications and reducing physical activity due to injury can increase blood sugar levels.

Barring a faulty new tub of test strips being the problem, your partner may need to revisit what meals will give safe levels.
 
Yes lots of things affect our blood sugars.
I was referred to the specialist diabetes nurses with high figures. I've found them very helpful.
Take care

But what do you call a well-managed diet? If she's in pain or has an inflammation/infection, that could up levels, but as you mention food... Practically all carbohydrates turn to glucose once ingested. And us T2's can't process that back out efficiently. To quite a few people, "diet" means low fat/calories, while for a T2 it *should* mean low carb. As in, no more bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, cereal/porridge, corn... Hence the diet question. Might want to check dietdoctor.com.
 
I'm T1 but physio doesn't put my BG levels up - in fact it's usually the opposite.
