[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1815612, member: 94045"] Random testing is not a good idea. You must begin consistent testing, before meals and 2 hours after. Other times are up to you. Morning fasting levels will be the last to come down, so try not to worry too much at this stage. If you can get your meal time before and after rises down, the rest will follow. Blood glucose never comes down in a straight line. You will always get ups and downs, especially in the mornings because it isn't just food that causes raised levels. Stress is a major factor, also disturbed sleep, restless sleep, anxieties, and most of all our livers. Every morning (and at other times) our livers dump stored glucose into our blood streams to get us ready for the day's activities, and this is a major variable. Lots of eggs are good. There is a sub forum for vegetarians that may help [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/vegetarian-diet-forum.71/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
