Ming, the pills would not have done that but the food he ate may well have done.What did he have to eat for his dinner?
Ok he had an omelette containing bacon/tomatoes/mushrooms, and some (not many) peache slices-no syrup or juice- with creme fraiche and 1 cup sugarless tea.
Waited 1 hour and took BS which was 6.2.
Waited a further hour and took reading which was 6.8.
Then remembered he had the pills in between the two readings. :?:

So basically it would have made no difference at all.
6.8. 2 hrs after the meal is fine.

Not much of a difference no, but it went UP and previously it always went down between the 1 hour and the 2hour tests... We just thought it was odd.
Also one more thing, can I ask your opinions here. He seems to have a really low reading after breakfast which is always porridge and half fat cream. Since porridge is sort of carby, does this mean that he might be ok on a not so strict low carb regime ?

I should have said that the Peach Slices would have probably raised the levels a little depending on how many were eaten.
As regards the Porridge.....too high carbs for me. If he can tolerate it and the Bg levels are good then maybe he could ? However, remember there may be a spike at the 1 hr stage (test then) and then at 2 hrs (test again) you might think it is OK ? Try a test at 3 hrs and see what the Bg levels are then ? Oats are notorious for this.
