[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1708359, member: 355878"] Cutting out the carbohydrate is doing it right - that is the major source of your blood glucose spikes. Usually blood glucose is checked just before you eat and then two hours from your first bite. It is quite arbitrary really, but it gives a snapshot of where you were and where you got to, so you can see if you are making good progress. Usually a meal with a moderate amount of carbs - I like a stir fry of courgette mushrooms and sweet pepper several times a week, will not push your readings up more than two whole numbers. If you can get your second reading under 8mmol.l that is good - though it might take a while to trim down to that. Once I managed that I stuck to the same meals and saw my numbers continued to go down. I felt I had more energy by then so I might have been running about more, or it could just be my metabolism picking up speed again. I had to change my diet completely from the 'healthy' high carb diet I was on but it was worth it to see how baffled the doctors and nurses were at my good results. [/QUOTE]
