I have been trying really hard for two months with diet and exercise and BG has been coming down, not perfect but much improved until today. Now between 5.5 and 8.5 until today. It has been higher for most of the day. Started off at 7.8 before breakfast 8.6 2 hours after a boiled egg. 5.5 before lunch, a bit of crab and 1/2 an avocado, 9.8 2 hours later. I don't understand as I have not had any extra carbs or sugar, have done about 1 1/2 hours exercise, eaten relatively small meals. Could there be another factor? I am not stressed, except that I have not had 9.8 for a while after a meal! What else affects BG? Or does one just have "off" days? May seem like stupid questions but I am new and still on a very steep learning curve. Thank you all for your help and support.
 
It's possile that your liver is putting out more glucose into your blood than normal, ore you may be beginning with an infection - often the first sign I have a cold coming on is my BG levels being higher than normal. Hope things settle again for you very soon 🙂
 
Probably just one of those days. Any chance you might be coming down within a cold? That can sometimes raise levels.
Hope you are soon back to your old levels.
 
Thank you both for your answers. I am a bit snuffly today and have been sneezing, so could be a cold starting. Levels better but still not quite as good. We had visitors today and there was curry. I had the smallest bit that I could and no rice but I am sure that my BG will be way up. I am most grateful to all the forum people as I feel that I have not had much information from the surgery people. 🙂
