Meter Readings

[LesleyAnne2]

I finally got a meter back in February, and it has taken me this long to pluck up the courage to use it, who'd have thought a big girl like me could be so worried about a little needle p*ick!
Anyway, my results for the past 24 hours are:

Pre dinner yesterday 5.1
2 hours after dinner 7.3

Pre breakfast today 5.1
2 hours after brekkies 5.8

Pre lunch 4.9
2 hours after lunch 5.5

Pre dinner tonight 4.8
2.5 hours after dinner 4.5

Do these sound about right, I am pretty strict low carb?

Thanks
Lesley

the pre-meal numbers look good, like a non-diabetic. Yesterday's dinner spiked it a bit if you're strict low carb - something extra sneak in ?

Yes, I should have said strict low carb apart from dinner yesterday when I succumbed to cheese on toast with left over wholemeal bread from the kids staying over at the weekend! As I had just played the low carb thing by what made sense to me (and Viv's modified Atkins thread) up till now, I was also interested in how bad two slices of wholemeal bread could be... and I guess I found out!
