Hi
Ive been T2 for just over 2 years now and have been getting non diabetic HbA1c readings after 6 months since diagnosis .
for the last few days my levels are a bit higher than normal .i would normally be about 5.2 to 5.6 fasting in the mornings and then dropping to about 5.2 after a couple of hours . this morning i was 5.8 after hardly any carbs yesterday a few coffees with milk ,steak and mushrooms and peppers for dinner and 3 glasses of red wine. Got up had breakfast 2eggs 2 bacon coffee with ff milk and went for a 6k walk came in and tested and my bloods were 6.5 . a bit confused because normally after a long walk my bloods will go down to about 5.1 .any ideas anyone

Thanks for the response.
Tested about 3 hrs later and it was 5.6 . Just wondering if it was the wine . I’ve been drinking more lately since the lockdown . Or the fact that I’ve started using milk in my coffee instead of double cream as my cholesterol was very high the last time and I was using quite a lot of it .
