What is your favorite food in breakfast ?

The only real way to know is to test just before eating and then again 2 hours after your last mouthful and compare the readings. if the post reading is more than 2 mmol/L more than the pre reading then you should consider modifying what you just ate.

Hi, can you explain or reference the pre/post reading difference of 2 mmol/L. I haven't come across this figure anywhere before ... thanks
 
Isn't anchor butter, or I actually use a low fat olive oil based spread, aren't they bad for you in their ways though?? - Just had my cholesterol reading done it was 7.3 GP hit the panic button and started writing a script out for STATINS. I refused them as they have quite horrible side effects so I'm on the search for another way to get cholesterol down. Any tips?

I thought anything fried was off the menu for diabetics? Is that just a myth?

Kind wishes,

Hi gezzathorpe, :wave:

I saw it mentioned on a thread somewhere on this forum. I think it was suggested as a 'rule of thumb' :wink:
I guess, so long as the post-prandial reading is within the NICE recomended range then you're OK :?:

I would suggest 2 mmol/L increase as a max guideline is based on the pre-prandial being somewhere in the middle of the NICE Pre-prandial range so that the post-prandial reading doesn't 'top-out' past the max NICE post-prandial range.

Seems reasonable to me! :thumbup:

I'm aiming for the Non-diabetic range. :)

May be I should quote the NICE guidelines alongside suggesting this advice?

In my defence :lol: I did type 'should consider modifying' I didn't type 'must modify'

Hope that clarifies.
