| What I was taught was to take my blood sugar at regular points each day. Wake up time, before main meal, 2 hours after starting main meal. By following that pattern, you can see the variations whereas doing it constantly through the day can lead to lots of questions.
I was told to look for bg to be below 140 in the two fasting tests, and below 160 in the after meal test.
Then again, tonight I did my post dinner reading and got 209. I will test again shortly to see if it's gone back down yet.
As for diet, you need to figure out how to keep your carbs under control. I'm undereating a lot, and it's not helping . . . my liver dumps sugar instead. Have you seen a dietician?
Ah, just took the bg. Down to 135.
