No melon for me

[Karen57UK]

Good Morning

Well I’m still on my journey of discovering what I can or more importantly can’t eat.

This morning on rising my blood was 8.2. I had 2 boiled eggs, mug of tea and 150g melon for breakfast. 2 hours later it’s 10.3.

So I assume the melon is the cause of the rise ?

Hi @Karen57UK. That breakfast obviously suits you. You evened out 2.1 higher than than your pre breakfast test, which is fine ! It’s just that your pre breakfast test was a little on the high side to start with.
This might be due to DP (dawn phenomenon) where our ever so helpful liver 🙄 doles out more glucose so we’ve got the energy when we get up to go out and slay a woolly mammoth for brekkie.
Do you test on waking up ?

Don't cut something just because of a 2 point rise!

You might end up not eating anything 🙂

Yes it was 8.2 on waking

Honestly a rise of 2.1 after two hours is absolutely fine.
