[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 2491137, member: 343949"] You may well be correct that you just tested high. However, I would honestly suggest that if you've been flagged as on the diabetic spectrum at all, you should keep it in mind going forward: you say your only relevant vice is a liking for sweet stuff, but please remember it isn't necessarily "vices" that get you. Brown rice, bananas, oatmeal for breakfast, wholewheat bread- these are much more likely to cause diabetic issues than, say, smoking or drinking. It's insidious. Anyway, getting a tester will tell you what you need to know: test before you eat, then two hours after you ate: a rise of more than 2 is a sign the food was problematic: I just warn you in advance a lot of the food you had been told was healthy may turn out to be surprisingly bad as far as blood sugar goes. For testers, I just use accucheck, and it's cheap and accurate enough. My doctor uses Bayer. [/QUOTE]
