@TIGGY do you mean before eating you were 10.3? That is a tad high really I think. Was it after the sweeties the day before? I'm tempted all the time by Mum's sweetie tin in front of me on the mantlepiece (so non-U) but I've had to just stop chomping! Not to mention the Fry's bars etc. 🙄 She's pre-diabetic too but I'm thinking at 87 what the heck, I'm not stopping her, who am I to tell anybody! Good grief. :D

Put tons of weight on over night, that'll teach me! o_O

I suppose that many people are only having things which they know are safe for them and may not be testing before and after every meal.
Also the levels they see may depend on how good their control is, whether they take any meds and the amount of exercise they do.
