[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 926198, member: 94045"] The actual rise isn't too bad, but both readings are high, as you know. The lower he starts, the lower he will finish, and double figures aren't good. Try to keep his carbohydrate consumption down, especially bread, potatoes, rice, pasta and cereals. Fruit and milk can also be culprits, and look out for hidden carbs by looking at the nutrition labels on packaging. Look for the Total Carb amount (you can ignore the "of which sugars". More than 10g per 100g is high, unless it is a condiment or similar where you only have a very small amount at a time. If he changes his carb consumption drastically he will probably need to have his insulin dose reviewed, but I am no expert on this as I am Type 2 not on medication, but it needs to involve a visit to his diabetic nurse/doctor.
