[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 687020, member: 22572"] You are correct about limiting post meal counts to within 2mmol of pre meal counts. The 2,5 you had at lunchtime is not bad but probably indicated that you need to reduced the portion size of whatever element of you meal was high in carbs, The weetabix for breakfast has not surprisingly spiked you badly. All cereals are both high in carbs and highly soluble digestible, which means a high amount of glucose enters our blood stream very quickly, too much and too quickly for most t2's impaired insulin production/utilization to cope with. Best avoid in the future. Eggs or plain greek yoghurt with some fresh or frozen berries much more advisable in my experience. Some people can cope with porridge as well. For now concentrate on your post meal counts, as these are the ones you can directly affect. If you get these right first you should also see a gradual fall in before meal counts as well. Any increase in physical activity such as walking will help as well. Pavlos [/QUOTE]
