[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1466126, member: 41816"] What were the carbs in the meal? I find that certain carbs (wheat and other grains) tend to send my blood glucose up much higher that (for example) potatoes. You may find that there are certain foods that affect you more than others. Having said that, an increase of over 5mmol/l after a meal is more than ideal. There's not much info in your profile about what type of diabetes you have, or your meds, so I can't comment on that, but I am assuming you are a type 2? I would agree that the best thing to do is to keep eating to your meter, and just adjust carb g and portion sizes downwards til your blood glucose stays where you want it to be. If you are finding the way of eating too restrictive, then have a look online (and on dietdoctor.com) for recipes and substitutes. Cauli mash, low carb breads, cakes, etc. all make life MUCH more bearable! ;) [/QUOTE]
