So for the past month they have had me testing my pre-meal blood. I have done really well and been solidly between 6 and 4 with only the occasional spike due to food experiments.
Today I had my appointment and he said to swtich it up and test my blood 1 hour after eating.
I said okay and did this after noon and got a 6.7 ... not bad but too many potatoes in the meal. Cut back next time, no problem.
Tonight I checked and it was 10.1! This freaked me out as it was post meds and had less carbs than my lunch.
So I hit the internet to see what's what and every bloody association and diabetes group says test 2 hours after not 1.
So my question is this... is it normal to have a high blood sugar spike like that 1 hour after a meal?
I am going to test again in another hour and see what's what.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies
