What rise is acceptable 2 hours after eating?

[eileen og]

Hello! I am new to bg monitoring, and am starting to test various foods to see what is good and what is bad for me personally.
Before my breakfast, I was 10.1. Yummy breakfast, and then waited 2 hours and I was 16.8. That's not good, is it.

Some people have a high reading 1st thing in the morning, check out "dawn phenomenon, that said the fast (before meals) should be i'm told, near to 4.7, then 2/3 hrs after food should rise to 8.00 or below...I'm new to all this too,Type 2, it was high when i was diagnosed, but now 4mths later I have got it down to 4.7 & 5.2 etc, by diet alone...

Quite an old thread you have replied to @eileen og .
Well done on your readings.
But the message is still there.

I was quite interested by my old nom de plume in use.
Well over a decade for me on here....... Where has the time gone?
Some old members as well, no longer with us.
