Since being diagnosed as pre diabetic with a blood sugar reading of 6.8 at the end of October, I've been following a low GI diet and exercising 4 to 5 times a week. I bought a blood glucose tester too and have been doing regular readings. I've been managing to keep my blood sugar under 6 and thought I was doing well. I've just done a reading this morning after an 11 hour fast and it was 8.5 ! Last night I had an Indian takeaway for the first time since being diagnosed. I had one small spoonful of rice and nothing with potatoes in it. I tested myself after 2 hours of eating just to see and my reading was 6.1 which I thought was ok. Has anyone any ideas why it would be so high now after 11 hours fasting? Thank you !
