I took my bs before dinner this evening and they were 7.1 I had lamb chops (3) and salad . 2hours after they were 9.2 . An hour later 11.1 ! What am I doing wrong ? All I've drunk is water and have eaten nothing else . I don't want to keep taking my bs but feel like I should until they go down .x
 
Did you have anything on your lamb chops and salad, like sauces, salad dressings, or similar? What was in your salad?

I think you should keep taking your BS until you see a good drop. Sometimes some exercise can help, maybe walking up and down stairs 10 times?
 
They were minted lamb chops ? Just lettuce , onion , cucumber . I will try the exercise thank you x
 
Minted by the butcher or by you? Mint sauce is quite carby. I tried shop bought mint sauce on my roast lamb once. I haven't repeated it, but I probably over did the amount! Even so, it does seem odd you were still going up significantly after 3 hours.
I hope it resolves itself.
 
Minted by the butcher . It's gone down to 9.3 now so it's coming down This is all quite scary

Bear in mind that it can take a few weeks to get fasting and pre-meal BGs to come down into the target range. Look for trends rather than individual results. It's hard I know, but you will get there. xx
 
Also be aware that too much protein will cause your BS to be higher at the 2 and 3 hour mark. That was a lesson that took me a while to learn.
