Am on last chance before going onto insulin - I'm 10+ years as a Type 2.
Have been taking this seriously and monitoring bloods 3/4 times a day and making big effort to eat the right things.
My fasting readings have been between 5 & 8 (nurse is happy if I remain under 10) pretty much every morning and remain within limits for the last month.
Have been having porridge nearly every morning and have been fine, but the last 3 days I've been hitting double figures 2 hours after. Readings come down after lunch (usually salad) and remain within limits - I'm only getting the spike after brekkie.
Today I tried a small bowl of shreddies with skimmed milk and after 7.2 fasting it shot up to 11.3!
What am I doing wrong????
