[QUOTE="Schmoukes, post: 2351661, member: 516966"] You are in a great place to get help and guidance. This forum was my saviour when I was diagnosed 14 months ago. It’s brilliant that you have a monitor. Test just before your first bite - and then 2 hours afterwards. If your reading has gone up by more than 2, your meal had too many carbohydrates. Weetabix has too many carbs - that’s why you have seen the spike after breakfast. Try eggs, mushrooms, bacon instead? The last figure to find down is your waking level. Don’t worry about it at the start - just focus on keeping your meals on track so that you they don’t increase your level by more than 2. You’ll soon get the hang of it. Loads of folks ready to help with any questions here. [/QUOTE]
