[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1530589, member: 412001"] Here's the interesting thing to do, now you have a meter. Spend a week eating completely normally - don't change a thing. Instead, write down everything you eat, when, and what was in it, and take your BG before your first bite. Then wait 2 hours and take your BG again. Note your readings in your diary. After a week, you'll have a fairly clear picture of what you eat, when you eat it and what that does to your BG. And then, just for curiosity's sake, try to eat no more than 150g - 200 carbs a day (that's potatoes, flour, rice, cereals and sugar, including fruit) for 48 hours, following the same process. If you think a reading of 16 was shocking after you've eaten, you'll faint when you see what you get after 2 days of low carbing :) [/QUOTE]
