[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 361074, member: 56231"] First thing - how long "after" was it? Sugars peak at around one hour and should return to normal in around 2 hours. So if that was a one hour reading it really wasn't too bad at all. If it was a two hour reading, then yes, it might suggest that the meal had too many carbs for your body to handle comfortably. And that wouldn't surprise me, because Shreddies and toast are both high carb, and I must admit I wouldn't even consider having either of them for breakfast, much as I'd love to. But even so, do keep it in perspective - yes, a disappointing reading (if it was 2 hour) but not a catastrophic one. Type 2 on Metformin, diagnosed Jan 2013, ultra low carber, Hba1C at diagnosis 8% (11mmol), now between 5 and 6 mmol. 13kg lost so far :) [/QUOTE]
