    Its great you are testing before and 2 hours after meals. Make sure to keep a food diary as well so you can gauge the effect different foods have on your BS. :)

    Make sure to test as soon as you wake up, before you do anything else. Sometimes your body will dump glucose into your system, its called the dawn phenomenem . It took me over a year to get my FBG under 8 so dont let it worry you, it does take time for your body to adjust.

    Red wine and spirits with zero carb mixers will always lower my blood sugar.

    Lager, beers, white wines etc will make it go sky high.
