Is one were not diabetic, what levels would be idealistic...
...upon awakening (fasting)?
...immediately after a meal?
...1 hour after a meal?
...2 hours after a meal?
...prior to bed?
I am already on a "diet" that encourages small frequent meals throughout the day, eating lean proteins, low-fat dairy and appropriate carbohydrates, such as vegetables, legumes, fruit (low on the glycemic index), low fat dairy, etc.). I have been eating this way (faithfully for 12 weeks). I always avoid white-bleached flour products, pasta, potatos, and the like. Still, I think my sugar levels may be to low. I had a sudden and unexpected drop in my blood sugar yesterday, which led to me testing throughout the day today. Fortunately, I was able to borrow a glucometer (and used a clean lancet).
Upon awakening: 76
1 hour after first meal/snack: 103
Prior to second meal: 74
1 hour after second meal: 98
Prior to third meal: 77
1 hour after third meal: 111
Prior to fourth meal: 75
1 hour after fourth meal: 94
Prior to fifth meal: 72
1 hour after fifth meal: 80
Prior to sixth meal: 75
1 hour after sixth meal: 86
I know that I went testing "crazy," but I did this to gain an understanding of how my BS is regulating. Do you think this is okay, or do you think it's dropping too low?
