Hi today I ate snack about 110g of carbs. My numbers at 1 hour is 6.2 2 hour 6.7, 3 hour 6.6. It didn't go down for many hours is this number ok?
 
That's quite a snack, did you mean to write 110g of carbs?
 
I think those numbers are pretty good for such a high carb snack. I would definitely be a lot higher. I wouldn't have that many carbs as a main meal
Are you sure you meant 110g?
 
Yes I meant 110g of carbs. I ate chips and some biscuits. The 5 hour is 6.7. I did not measure pre prandial.

I'd recommend you have a search for the pizza effect.

jeeze nom not another thing to throw into the diabetes puzzle, first I've heard of this one just as I was getting a handle on the 0ne and two hour after eating.

so lets get this straight, one and two hour testing is useless as you may have the pizza effect? at this rate you would need to test hourly 24/7
 
That is pretty good. Your digestive system seems to be keeping you at good levels. It will be interesting to see what your hba1c is next

Are you sure you have diabetes? What was your last HBa1C?

My last hba1c was 5.0% which was taken in April. Yesterday was my first time eating so much carbs after being diagnosed.

Hi and thanks. 5% is very good and really below diabetic levels. It sounds like your diabetes is in remission and long may it last.
 
Yep I agree fantastic numbers. I think you were pre diabetic when you first came to the site and now I would say you have turned it around.

i am not pre diabetic. I was diagnosed type 2 last sep 14 my glucose tolerance test was 11.4.
I wished I had turned it around!
 
If I'm having something I'm not sure about I test at 1 and 2 hours to see if my bs is going up or down. If down and it's within range I don't worry if up I will test again at 3 hours
