So i've been pretty bang on with my diet and i've finally achieved a FBG range from 4.5-5.3, since being diagnosed late july of this year. I've gone from a ~7 average to an overall average of 5.3! Never thought i'd see the day (as expressed in my previous posts)!
But today, I let myself go. I had a before meal blood glucose of about 5. Then I ate like 2 pieces of fried chicken (*gasps*) and a salad and two and a half hours later my BG is 6.7. Which sent me in a full on panic, certainly not the highest number i've seen on my BG monitor but first "high" one i've seen in awhile.
I don't know, is that a crazy high number after eating or am I just overreacting...
(i'm currently on a pretty strict low carb diet and take 1000mg of metformin a day)
