[QUOTE="TooManyCrisps, post: 1466096, member: 244689"] I think you just need to keep testing before and after meals until you find what works for you. When I was first diagnosed I tested before and after every meal and logged everything I ate along with my readings. I could then work out what my body could, tolerate. My HbA1C on diagnosis last year was 97, it's now 37. I certainly can't tolerate 35gms of carbs in one meal. I aim at a maximum per meal of 15. I can eat more carbs in the evening than in the morning but still have to be careful. I don't test as much now because I know what works for me but I till test am and before bed, and sometimes before and after my evening meal if I'm eating something a bit different. I have never used meds but I think if I took them I might be able to get my readings down further but I choose not to take them and am happy with that decision. I hope you start seeing a drop in your numbers but I suspect you need to drop your carb intake first [/QUOTE]
