My FBG was 8.8 this morning and I didn't eat until lunch time. I had an omelette made with butter ( 2 eggs, 50g chorizo and 40g cheddar cheese).
9.8 before eating 9.0 two hours after.
I am trying to eat to my meter and so far the only time my reading has been higher after 2 hrs was when I had black pudding. 7.2 up to 12.0 so black pudding is off my shopping list.
Should I have omelette again when starting level is lower?
 
What diabetes meds are you on, @Swiggy There is nothing in your profile or signature to help us.

Omelettes are good, you can have them anytime.

As your pre-lunch was higher than your fasting level you are continuing to rise throughout the morning. It may stop this in its tracks if you have some fat very soon after getting up. A coffee with double cream might do the trick. It does for me.

Thanks Bluetit1802. I am T2, no meds. Joined forum about two weeks ago and I am trying to do lchf. Since I started I have only had one result in double figures (after black pudding) and my highest fbg has been this morning 8.8.
 
Well done, keep it up.

It may help with future questions if you add your diabetes status to your signature, such as "Type 2, diagnosed Feb 2017, diet only" You can appreciate that people on certain medications may need different answers. Every little helps. :)
 
Thanks Bluetit1802. I now have a signature (I think). It's not just diabetes I am learning about on this forum, I am becoming tech savvy too lol.
