[QUOTE="hallii, post: 303169, member: 30624"] You are getting a bit wound up over nothing really. My advice is test after two hours of eating and do not eat anything in between. Testing 20 mins after eating anything will see a BG rise. Any fruit can give a sudden rise in BGs, but if you wait 2 hours it will have gone down, and your readings actually show this. You are diabetic, so you will have a rise in BG like a diabetic has, not like a "normal" person. When you eat anything, carbs in particular, it will cause a rise in your BGs, the aim is to keep that rise down to, say, no more than 8 after two hours, that way you will help to avoid the complications of diabetes. We all have foods which affect us more than others, I cannot eat oats or bran or rice, others can, you obviously can't eat Kiwi fruit but you might be able to eat an apple. We all vary, eat to your meter, keep the post prandials below say 8 and you should be OK. H PS 8.5 for 15 mins is no problem, it nice to see 7.0 but as I said, we are diabetic and we can't all manage that. I try hard to keep below 8. I do not always succeed :D H [/QUOTE]
