Post meal spike

As newly diagnosed T2 I'm still testing, testing, testing.

I've noticed that 1 hour after a meal BG has been 10 - 12. After 2 hours, usually under 8. Except this morning, when I had a slice of granary bread with my bacon and mushrooms. 1 hr 7.7. 2 hr 8.3. 3 hr (just to try & see what was happening) 5.9.

For the last couple of days I have been eating bread, to see what effect it has on me. Looks like I need to cut it out

Trying to cut back on carbs - never thought I'd say that :shock:

Lunch was a piece of cheese (too busy to do anything else).

Just had 2 beefburgers (made by butcher), eggs, onion, butternut squash, carrots, cauli & brocolli.

Got into bad habit of eating at bedtime - really need to work on that one. Fasting BG is just over 7

Had HbAC1 done, get results next week.

Keeping food diary, so can monitor progress - ammunition for when I see 'experts' at GPs :lol:

hi,
basically thats what needs to be done ..test,test,test and then you will find what works for you and what doesnt
 
Good luck with your experts, if they are anything like mine you are going to need it :evil: . I cut out bread completely until my partner bought some spelt and rye bread from Morrissons. I have found that a tiny slice every so often doesn't seem to make me spike, or go much higher than usual, and it tastes handsome
