[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2277508, member: 525839"] If you have just been diagnosed, you are probably still making a fair amount of insulin and this will continue for some time. All you can be sure of is that you don't have enough beta cells left to make the insulin required to keep blood glucose at normal levels. Bear in mind that when blood glucose is 'normal' there is about a teaspoon of glucose dissolved into about 5 litres of blood. So very small changes cause big moves in blood glucose readings. Also bear in mind that glucose does not only come from meals. The liver makes it too and there are complex metabolic processes that take glucose out of the bloodstream [/QUOTE]
