Just remembered that I haven't taken my meds tonight before my tea because I'm not having any tea tonight. Gonna let the B S levels go down to normal first.

Eating might help. I'm 7.1 two hours after cauliflower cheese and salad. Phew!

To be honest I don't feel like anything. I'm still full after that dinner, in fact just to prove this point I'm trying to make to the dietician, i actually had to force the last part of the dinner down.
I still feel really stuffed. I'm going to do another reading now, so watch this space.

Kat. there's already potatoes in the dish. and If bluetit is correct, with the bread, it does look like that's another 10+ carbs on top. How many type 2's could cope with that ( If I'm incorrect please say so) on diet alone or with some meds. Sausage casserole is a heart warming and tasty dish, but I would swap the beans and potatoes, for veg like broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and/or green beans ?
Gosh it's making me hungry now :hungry:

I don't eat that many carbs in a day, never mind in a single a meal! I've found the only way I can keep my BS readings at sensible levels is to stick to less than 25g of carbs a day (and many days it's less than 20g), and less than 10g per meal.

As soon as I add any significant carbs, my BS heads for the stratosphere :)
 
I seem to be luckier than most and find that I can tolerate more carbs such than most of the members here but I do try to keep my intake as low as possible.

Yeah but I've had to do without tea tonight and don't really want to eat anything tonight anyway because I'm still full. Tomorrow I just need something light as I've got Cardiac rehab at 10.00am so don't want breakfast bouncing up and down while I'm on the treadmill and bike :D

I'm sure you know the answers to her points @poshtotty , plenty of fibre and roughage in green veg, yes non-diabetics do get spikes but if you have significant ones continually that's hardly likely to help your HbA1c in the longer term.

Yes indeed. Thank you Rod

Got up this morning and after washing hands thoroughly, did the finger prick................8.0. Then because I have Cardiac rehab exercises at 10am, I've had a small banana for breakfast. Hoping to be around the bottom 6's when I get back.

Yes it would. I'm good at coming down quickly, but I prefer to be down at 2 hours, and that 12 was a 2 hour reading. but I was 5.2 before next meal Phew!

When was that 12 Blue? If it was a while ago, perhaps you would tolerate them better now you're trimmer?
