Fasting or before food 4-7mmol/l, 2 hours after food less than 8.5mmol/l or if your starting level is still quite high then no more than a 2-3mmol/l increase 2 hours after food. If it is then your meal is too carb heavy.
This is if you are not on insulin in which case it may be different if you are.

Before breakfast this past two weeks having consumed very low carb, when i do my BG before I even have my coffee it has never been less than double digits. Almost every morning my breakfast is eggs, either poached or boiled. 2 hours after the first mouthful, still 10 or more. After 7pm last night I had nothing until today. I took a reading before coffee or breakfast and it was 17 mmol. 2 hours after my eggs it is 10?
