My thoughts are they sure you are a Type 2?
Yes I was wondering that too .
Your dinner sounds fine to me .
Porridge can be a problem fir some of us.
Do you know how to test to see how the various carbohydrates affect you as we are all different in this respect .
To do this we test just before eating then two hours after the first bite, it’s the difference between the two that’s important, if you levels are no more than 3 mmol higher 2 hrs later (post prandial) then that meal was fine for you. Don’t worry if your starting level (pre prandial) was high
Ie if it was 10.5 making your post prandial 13.5 as it still means that meal was ok ,in time you pre levels will go down .
As to
@grovesy post. their are many types of diabetes, most of which Gp’s and practice nurses know little if anything about.
One of which is what I Have, LADA latent auto immune diabetes in adults, it is like a slow onset (in my case very slow indeed) T1 it often responds well ( mine did fir a very long time ) to T2 treatments etc but in time these may not work as well . It is often mis diagnosed as T2 .
Their are tests to find this out . Try not o worry about this as no type of diabetes is worse than another , it’s just the way it may need to be treated that’s important.
For the time being it may mean you need to tweak your diet a bit more , this is where your meter and keeping a food diary will be of great help to you.
