Blood sugars

[wendyclark8]

Hi, I'm type 2 diabetes and on slow release metformin (3 tablets with evening meal)
I am endeavouring to lose weight and keeping my carbs between 120/150. I have bought a Meter. Blood sugar 5.6 but goes down to between 3.8-4.3 in afternoon then rises again evening. Is this ok? Thought I should see what foods affected me. Would appreciate feedback.

Hi Wendy, those readings look excellent! When are you testing, are you doing it before, then two hours after eating to see if the levels 'spike' up before falling back again? If you haven't seen it yet, I'd suggest having a read of Test,Review, Adjust by Alan S to understand how to use your meter and those precious strips efficiently in order to tailor your meals to achieve good levels 🙂 From what you say here things are looking good 🙂

excellent BG and perfectly normal 🙂 ask dr, but I think on non-hypo inducing meds, when under 3 can be a problem to seek medical advice about.

you may or may not need to adjust your carbs further for weight loss

Welcome ! How do you spend most afternoons. If you went for a walk after meal ? Good luck 🙂
