Good morning 6.2 here 🙂 That didn't take long Kooky Hope you can soon shake it off
 
Morning all. 🙂 Oo, oo, 5.6 here.:D Hope you're feeling better soon, Kcat.

Ideally, you do a test before eating, then 2 hours after eating to try and find the peak that your blood sugar levels reach. You need to do the 'before' test so that you know how much the meal has made your levels rise, so you can make decisions about whether it is a meal you tolerate well. The waking/fasting test is a good indicator of your general control 🙂

There is a lot to take in, you are right, but it will all make sense in time so try not to become overwhelmed 🙂
 
Morning all, back to 5.0 today 🙂
 
sorry about the questions. so if we have our dinner at 7pm test before then 2 hours after.

thanks
 
House special 5.2 for me, and a very irritating cold. Beechams all in one for me I think 🙄
 
good morning 🙂 still getting used to this testing and the idea of diabetes, so last night small glass of fruit juice about 1am went to bed about 2.30, tested this morning at 8.30am and it was 6.3
