[genie]

I just cant understand my weird diabetic. I have regular breakfast with low carb bread (5g carb) + crunchy natural peanut butter (1.4g carb per serve) and 250ml of unsweetened almond milk (0.8g carb). 2 hours after eating, some day my Bg increases by 1.2m and other day 2m. Today it increase up to 4m after eating T.T

I seriously couldnt figure out what's going on here!!! Any help pleaseee

There are so many variables affecting our blood sugar levels: exercise, hormones, temperature, stress, what we ate the day before, to name a few. Also meters are not 100% accurate and can give different readings with the same blood sample. Insulin resistance is also affected by the starting blood sugar level. If the 4 happens on a regular basis I might change something but otherwise I’d just treat it as a blip, especially if you were down to pre-meal levels by the next meal.

I test each meal three times & if it spikes 2 out of 3 times, I avoid it or just have it as a treat.

Thanks Radder & Mark.
The 9.8 was very abnormal So I guess i would give it another try.

But if it’s unstable just because of our unpredictable diabetes then i dont know how to deal with it .

Just shrug and accept it’s just one of those things. No point worrying about something we can’t change, is my thought on the matter. There’s plenty that we can control but also some things that sometimes misbehave so we just need to focus on the successes we have.

It's the same for me, eat the same breakfast every day and by lunch time I can be in the teens or hypo, with this hot weather it's even worse as tending to go hypo even quicker, to the extent I have had to half the gliclazide I take to try and help, but still having hypos and high. Halving the gliclazide does mean the spike is a lot higher than it should be, but with driving have to protect myself as much as possible. Still can and do go from the mid teens in levels to hypo in around 2 hours or even less with a lovely hypo this morning around 2:30. Forgot to test before treating it but around 30 to 45 mins after treating it, my levels had climbed to 4.2.
