[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2124677, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome. I'm a relative newbie but want to come and say hello. Are you a type 2 diabetic? The types are all different so that information will help people give advice. As you are on medication I really can't provide any advice- It might be helpful if you give people some idea as to what you are eating. 7.5 is really at the top of what you want your readings to be and 10 is much higher then ideal. My understanding (remembering I am a newbie) is that you need to keep your readings under 7.8 to avoid the complications from diabetes. I can speak from my own experience and say yes stress and anxiety can definitely effect your blood sugar levels and not for the better. You speak about healthier meals- what do you class as healthier. In my experience a lot of what we have been told about healthier options just don't work for diabetics- generally we don't tolerate carbs at all- it's not just sugar it's all carbs so a meal including fruit its definitely not healthier for us. Anyway some more experienced people will be here shortly- in the meantime welcome and if you let people know what type you are, what type of food you are eating that will help people give you some advice.
