Now you need to check it again 2 hours after breakfast.

Will do . So I would assume it should go up a bit
Had about 18 grs carbs for brekkie

6.6 on a fasting sample puts you in the pre-diabetic range (see the second red table down this page https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html ). Remember the morning fasting reading is the last to correct itself after taking action to reduce your levels. Keep at it, you’re doing well, the lower the better will reduce the risks of complications.

Yes it will go up. You also need to repeat over a few days to build up a picture.
