[QUOTE="Mushroom, post: 304000, member: 46607"] Hi, I was diagnosed in May with Hb 7.1, 51 yrs old and 9 stone overweight. Posted on this forum as I ditched bread, pasta and potatoes straight away, tried GI then now have arrived at low carb (not having anything obviously carby) about a month a go. Weight loss now over 2 stone. Started blood testing a week ago. Found the answer to most of my questions on this brilliant website but now have some I can't find. Can anyone help with the following? Apologies if they seem obvious/silly. Breakfast yesterday - 2 scrambled eggs, butter and 2 bacon - 6.3, 2 hrs after 5.9 (good). Today - 2 scrambled eggs, butter and one sausage (0.3 carb) before breakfast 6.1, 2 hrs later 6.6. (?). 1. Should the after-meal figures be the same as before meal? If not, what is the 'safe' upper level/difference? My average readings are 6.3 over the whole week. My very first reading was 4.6 but since then lowest was 5.2 (highest 8.6 after very large homemade chicken tikka and yoghurt dressing!). 2. I assume 'my' lowest will be eventually dependent on how well my pancreas is working but will my figures go lower when/if I lose the further 7 stone? Does the amount of existing fat at around the waist influence blood glucose? Thank you in advance. Mary [/QUOTE]
