Go to the link "Test, Review, Adjust" for more on that subject. I'm not sure where I said 70 to 130; I usually try to stay in the range 4-8 mmol/l or 70-140 mg/dl at all times. The most likely timing for high results would be post-prandial but my lows usually, but not always occurred reactively a few hours after highs. I stopped getting those after I stopped going high.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868809225921579099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967781860933132301.post-84706821098856890362020-04-19T02:16:14.328+10:002020-04-19T02:16:14.328+10:00So, no peas in your brisket meal?

I think they're high in sugar, so I'll be careful.<br /><br />Second question: when you give your range of nondiabetic numbers, from 70 to 130 (?) are you distinguishing between fasting, or post prandial?<br /><br />thanks!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810240214197152195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967781860933132301.post-15055253453625361542019-06-29T04:01:54.415+10:002019-06-29T04:01:54.415+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sushanthttps://bewareofdiseases.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967781860933132301.post-67939902227256078392018-05-07T22:39:58.651+10:002018-05-07T22:39:58.651+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.klifecareindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672363546817304529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967781860933132301.post-72940368749363331352016-10-28T04:05:02.615+11:002016-10-28T04:05:02.615+11:00Is KISS enough though?

It can be easier to do that than to use test strips to tell you if you've eaten too much. I'll try your KISS method and will see what A1c shows in 3 months. I kind of hate counting ounces all the times.<br /><br />On another note, I've seen you share some helpful advices and was just reading an article about how to get free glucose monitors and sometimes even test strips. Might be useful to somebody if you include it in your next post.

For instances, berries go with cream or yoghurt. Today I had half an apple (in season in the northern hemisphere) with peanut butter.Aliceqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691633378458114369noreply@blogger.com
