Message: <blockquote data-quote="MimT" data-source="post: 2685344" data-attributes="member: 585741">I've been testing blood glucose for a couple of weeks, watching my diet to see what spikes. Measurements have ranged from 4.6 to 8.6 mmol/L at various times of the day, Things seemed to be going along well enough. Then today I thought I'd try a regular lunch of the type I used to have when I was too busy to bother. So I made a simple meal of a cheese and vegemite wholemeal sandwich and a banana.The reading went from 5.8 mmol/L before the first bite to 10 mmol/L an hour and a quarter later. That's the highest reading I've had so far. After two hours it was down to 8.4 mmol/L, which was 2.6 above the pre-meal reading.I realise every one of you would probably say I shouldn't have been surprised, given the high carb meal (albeit a small meal). Still, there's nothing quite like seeing it for myself. (I'm new to pre-diabetes.)I can do without the bread easily enough - mostly. But I've got one banana left and I suppose that will have to be the last one I have for quite some time <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
