So far this week my figures have been fairly consistant between 6 and 6.5 pre eating and the highest 2 hours after eating was today. I went from 6.3 upto 7.8 after my two slices of white toastie toast with lurpak lighter butter. I don't know whether this is all ok or i should be either reducing the thickness and therefore amount of bread or changing for wholemeal - or changing to all bran instead! I could be doing endless experiments and trialing and erroring!!!!
 
An increase of 1.5mmol is OK, some type 2 guidelines say aim for no more than a rise of 2-3, others say aim for 2 hours post meal result under 8.5, so your results are in line with both recommendations.
 
Those are completely normal non diabetic numbers!
Brilliant result.
Thank you!!! hahahahaha. I have always been almost diabetic/almost not diabetic for as long as i can remember! Cutting out potatoes, pasta and rice from my evening meals has done wonders for my numbers 🙂
*EDIT* - and bread from my lunch - though i have now started adding bread back in as a breakfast - never used to eat breakfast of any kind, but after losing weight (without the carbs) i felt i had to eat more to maintain/add a little weight back on!
 
So....what does everyone have for breakfast? I never used to have breakfast at all, then after overhauling my diet to try and sort out blood sugar 'spikes' i have lost weight even though i didn't need too! I am looking to maintain/add weight so am thinking about starting to eat breakfast.....what do we all eat that is carb free/low carb?
At this time of year I love porridge but it doesn’t like me even with my fast acting lyumjev. I find that , like Barbra everything works a treat with Greek yogurt, I mix with blueberries, a linseed and goji berry mix with nuts . I need to have calories . Since I’ve cut out the porridge which I miss my hba1c has dropped a lot.
 
While I was on holiday I was having eggs on toast, there was so much walking and activity it didn't cause a problem.

Normal breakfast is 1 Weetabix. ~13g carbs.

Would like to get back to porridge as soon as I work out a good quantity for me.
