Thank you I will try thathi there
how often ( and more importantly ) when do you test ?
to get an idea of why your numbers are where they are you need to test
first thing in the morning upon waking
before brekkie
2 hours post brekkie
pre lunch
2 hours post lunch
pre evening meal
2 hours post evening meal
before bed
if you have those readings as a sort of baseline you can then look at
a) what you ate and what your BG did
b) what changes you can make to your diet to reduce the numbers
Thank youHi @BLACKBERY
Can I just add to the very good advice from @himtoo and say write all this information down. Your readings and what you have eaten and also your exercise. Do come back with questions.
Hi thank you for your adviceok --
so 2 x oatibix is 31 carbs , 4 oz milk ( assumed amount ) is 5.5 carbs
tea -- any milk or sugar ?
coffee -- any milk or sugar
so what we have is 36.5 carbs raises your BG by 8 mmol
so doing the simple maths 10 grams carb should raise you BG by 2.2 mmol and is a safe amount of carb to eat at brekkie
you can repeat the test again tomorrow to confirm , or look for alternative brekkie choices with a lower carb value
Thank youhere is a link to type 2 diabetes symptoms
( which you still get after treatment if BG's are high)
the itchy feeling is 1 symptom

I also think the exercise might also have a bearing on your reading. Gentle walking for me brings my readings down. I think that more intense exercise, which is good for you, may take it up a bit for a short time, Possibly someone who does intense exercise could help with that.
I had to cut out Weetabix as my body couldn't cope with that. I now have scrambled eggs and mushrooms for breakfast.
