| | | Hi. Don't worry about being new at posting. I've been a lurker in various sites for a while as I was shy about posting. But, I quickly learned as I'm sure you will. One thing for sure is you will learn a lot from this forum. |

| | Hey Alura, welcome aboard.
Something you should do to help people help you.
Putting your HBa1c and other such data in your signature gives people some background data when trying to help ... also include whatever meds you are taking.
And lastly, when you say something like you ate breakfast you need to tell us what was for breakfast ... and what your diet usually consists of is helpful.

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.
