Chinese a rise of 2.4 .. which all in all wasn't too bad.
So now I am confused last night after evening meal was 8.6 (i had beef, cauli, brocoli and green beans with gravy) the same as lunch... and this morning reading is 9.0 . Still its the lowest morning reading I have had.
The snack was breadstick and phili... might try an apple next time.
I do get to work an hour early and walk for 30 mins as I work at a place where there is a lot of out door space (have done that for nearly 4 years)
Well this evening I have indian reastaurant meal.... at the moment I am thinking chicke and spinach with a couple of spoons of boiled rice and no Naan....
What would you advise?
Even better numbers today! It must be good to see these single numbers.Chinese a rise of 2.4 .. which all in all wasn't too bad.

high carb fat protein meals may spike later than 2 hrs..google diabetic pizza effectI have had wholemeal roce and chickpea curry made at home and it went up less than 1 point.
But wholemeal bread, pasta, weetabix, porridge, potatoes and oatcakes all put it up loads.
Morning readings usually are higher than nighttime readings because of the dawn effect. We all have a store of glycogen in our livers and when the liver decides that we need an extra boost, such as after fasting overnight or when stressed or when we are about to wake up, the liver can convert glycogen and release it as glucose in our bloodstream. This is why morning counts can often be difficult to predict and control.Just surprised that morning count is higher than evening. But very pleased single numbers berries and greek yoghurt for breakfast and no snack see what 2hr and lunch brings.
Something is taking effect...
The walking is just an extra, I do crossfit 3 times a week for 1 hour have done for 18 months now, i try to get out at lunch for 20 mins too.(that is extra to pre diagnosis)
What curries do you recommend? But popadoms sound good.
I was right on the borderline of diagnosis nearly 3 years ago.
Went away, read up, adjusted my diet, low carbed, found this forum, switched to low carb and high fat eating, and I still don't have a diagnosis - because I've managed to keep my BG down. Subsequent fasting BG tests have been over the Diabetic limit, but hba1c tests have come in as prediabetic.
But I had plenty of warning - I've been prediabetic for decades, so I've been low carbing more and more, since the 90s
Hi Brunneria,
I was was warned last year that I was Pre Diabetic, but I was ignorant of how serious it was, all the Doc said to me "you need to lose at least 2 stone". There was no warnings of how serious this could be whether I should have a special diet. I was of the view which I find with many people have, when you tell them your Type 2 diabetic, they all seem to say, or that's not the serious one then, I'm still trying to convince my sister that it is serious if you don't do anything about it. Anyway, I did lose some weight cut down on bread and potatoes, but continued eating much the same foods
as I had before and even started having fruit, as I was not a big fruit eater. One of the fruits I choose in this period was Dates 'Medjool' one of the highest sugar content fruits you can have.
Just wish I had investigated sooner and the Doc had taken my 'pre' a little more seriously and told me the consequences.
Pleased I got here................

a good reason the be aware is because with the pizza effect delays the spike, you take a 2 hr reading and it's 8,and think all's ok..when a 3 hr reading is 15Morning readings usually are higher than nighttime readings because of the dawn effect. We all have a store of glycogen in our livers and when the liver decides that we need an extra boost, such as after fasting overnight or when stressed or when we are about to wake up, the liver can convert glycogen and release it as glucose in our bloodstream. This is why morning counts can often be difficult to predict and control.
As for curries anything with meat, fish, prawns and green vegetables, cauliflower etc. I would avoid anything with potatoes, carrots to a lesser extent. I would probably avoid lentils. Something like tandoori chicken is probably a safe bet as well.
As @jack412 pointed out with high fat high carb food such as pizza or say a lentil curry, the digestion and conversion of carbs into glucose slows down and the pick rise may actually happen after the two hour test. I do not know if you need to concern yourself too greatly with this at this early stage in your diabetic life but I guess it does no harm to be aware of it.
Enjoy tonight.

Yup 4 sure you have to be there, just avoid letting it stress you, that can affect the diabetes.Been doibg some research thos evening Paul.... indeed exciting times!
The main stress is guest list and venue.. once that is done the rest will take care of itself.
As long as me and finacee are there that is the most important thing
