So dinner time before food bg was 6.1

It does seem a big more of an increase than one would expect, was the chicken in a sauce or in breadcrumbs for example.
How much chicken did you have, glucose will be produced from the protein if you had no carbs with it.
People who take insulin have to take account of the protein if they have very few carbs in the meal.
 
Hello again @Anbemcc

How have things been going?

Are you about 6 months into your diabetes now? Have you tried skipping meals entirely and seeing whether your BG stays stable, or rises? Just wondering whether your BG rise was related to the chicken, or would have happened anyway?

Hiya that's what I though, it was plain chicken breast. I had 350 in raw weight. Maybe to much.
