[QUOTE="kingfisher2, post: 2593722, member: 570048"] Thank you each for your contributions above. I have never taken any real notice of the consequences of the food I eat, I eat and enjoy, but Catinahats' explanation about Carbs in relation to sugar is a great graphic illustration, and a whole new world to me. I did not understand how the body processes food, the conversion of carbs; no wonder I am struggling to get any sort of pattern to the testing numbers. Whilst I have cut out virtually all the obviously sugary things I love, it is not just them that is/are the problem. I need a complete rethink about what I eat. I always thought we ate a healthy diet, lots of fresh veg, and very few take-away meals etc. but it is not that simple. I have not been doing much manual work for a week or so due to the wet weather; I got on a push bike today, I have not done that for many years. We live in an undulating landscape so it can be quite demanding on some of the hills. My mid morning reading was 10.3, after the bike ride 90 minutes later it was 6.1. That says it all, 'on your bike mate'. Much more to learn. Thank you for the support. [/QUOTE]
