31 male.
So back in November 2017 my doctor told me that I had a fasting glucose of 6.4 (115 mg/dl??) and A1C of 5.0 (31)
Sorry I''m in Canada no idea about the conversion.
Great A1c, no friggin idea why FBG was higher than it should be.
I am sooo anxious around needles and have had a lot of anxiety lately so I worry if that impacts my FBG.
So I have been exercising and eating lowER carb (still eat some carbs). I have gone from 186 pounds or so to about 165 lbs. Lots of indoor rowing, eating healthier, walks, etc. I have been working my ass off and lost over 20 pounds and over 4 inches of size off my belly button.
So today I decided I wanted to get myself a blood glucose tester.
I bought a Contour Next One. I had a bear of a time figuring it out since I've never used one.
I went out for dinner and I decided I was going to test out how my blood sugar was after.
So I ate to kind of see what would happen - i had a burger bowl (low carb) with a burger, cheese, yams, boiled egg, bacon...then I had a 12 oz beer and shared onion rings with my girlfriend. I was STUFFED!
After about 1 hour and 10 mins or less, I tested my blood. 7.5 mmol/L (135) and then tested again a couple of minutes later at 6.8 (122.4).
After a big meal like that I think that's pretty good, is it not?
Is it weird that it changed from 7.5 to 6.8 in like 2 minutes?
edit: tested again at 1 hour 50 min post meal it was 6.7 (120)
