[QUOTE="LADA23, post: 2275263, member: 525918"] Hi Millie, thanks so much for responding! Has given me a lot of clarity with regards to food. My sugars have been pretty bad for more or less a year, and especially during lockdown - but it’s all down to my diet as I was eating terribly and turning a blind eye by not checking for weeks on end. But since I had a shock after seeing a reading of 24 a couple of days ago, I’ve vowed to get out of my denial stage and take it seriously. I have been eating pretty healthy and as the days have gone (around 4 days now) my sugars have gotten lower each day. So for example, on Sunday 14/06, I had a chicken salad with cucumber and tomato and two hours later it was 17.7. My fasting sugar that morning was 9. But today, my fasting was 7.4 and after eating breakfast of low sugar granola with yoghurt and four raspberries it was 5.2 after 2.5hrs. Had a subway salad for lunch today with light mayo, garlic aoili and southwest and after 1.5hrs it was 6.3. This is telling me I do have enough insulin production atm and my high readings were purely down to my diet. I have also been doing ten min cardio running after every meal, so 30mins daily in total. Have to admit this takes my sugars down quickly than going on a one hour walk (which is what I used to do and did not take it down as much!). I did give in and have a peach with my dinner, which took up my sugars to 10.8 after 2hrs (even with 10min cardio running after).
