Did you find your readings were similar even though you didn't exercise?
The second day I had nearly the same, I had half an avocado for some extra fat. Pre lunch reading was 5.8, 2 hour pp was 5.4!

I had a fasting blood glucose reading of 8.6 mmol this morning then took my lixisenatide and metformin as well as my mood stabilisers and ate a massive meat feast melted cheese deep pan pizza, had several mugs of coffee each with 3 sugars and Coffeemate, then some glasses of tap water, and later on than that at about oneish I had a take away of a lamb doner kebab with everything. I feel like I've really overdone it today and this makes my depression in my Asperger Syndrome worse.

Food Consumed on Thursday 17th March, 2016:-

Breakfast:- Nil

Late Lunch:- 1 Lamb Doner Kebab with shredded lettuce, finely sliced raw white onion, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber and garlic and chili sauce and White Pitta Bread.

Supper:- 1 Chili Beef Pizza with toppings of ground beef, finely chopped chili, onion, cheese and tomato puree as well as complex carbohydrates in the bread base.

I also consumed several cups of coffee each with 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, as I've decreased my sugar intake by 1 teaspoon per cup. I have also drunk an insurmountable amount of tap water.
