Hi I joined today

Upheavals and stresses in life. I have been overeating a lot. My usual pattern when I am under stress.
Checked sugar today two hours after lunch. 12.6 MMOL. Had gravied potatoes along with fried puris and channa and two rotis. According to MyNetDiary, I have consumed approximately 202 grams of carbs till now.
As there was an increase in Uric Acid, I was advised to take a medicine and reduce proteins.I had increased my intake of proteins.
 
Blood sugar just before breakfast 7.1 MMOL/L
Blood sugar two hours after breakfast 11.5 MMOL/L
Lesson learnt ----I must not eat Kulchas, Murmuras (puffed rice) cooked Pumpkin
Blood sugar two hours after lunch 9.8 MMOL/L
Had 350 to 400 grams of tandoori chicken with two dry ajwain parantha.

Confused about daily average value. What is the significance of Daily Average Value
 
Alan's advice on how to prick fingers painlessly is particularly useful. I tried setting it at 1, 1.5 but no blood came out. Then I set it at 2 and it is better. Earlier. my setting was between 3 and 4.
 
My doctor said I should not panic if one day I had more carbs and the bs went up. He further said that a level of 300 mg (16.66 MMOL/L) and more would be worrisome.
 
I had started the Zone Diet/ Plan on an experimental basis but left it as it was not suitable for me.

Can blood sugar be tested 1 hour 20 minutes after meal

Physically yes you can test any time.

But what are you hoping to learn from it. You can’t compare the bg 1hr20 after 1 meal against the bg 2hrs after another meal. They’re not comparable.
