Thanks KidNiki1. Did my first test and it came back at 72 in my fasted state, 16 hours of fasting.

Day 1
What I ate:
Had five eggs and 4 slices of Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat bread along with a regular size Quizno sub called the Southern Pulled Pork. The dressing in the sub had lots of sugar.

Glucose test before I ate was 72, fasted.

Waited 2 hours after I ate and levels seem normal at 131. Seems my regular diet is working for me and probably will not do VLCD.

Four hours after eating, glucose is 93. A little slow from my understanding.



Day 2
What I ate:
Three salads from Hana Sushi which contained some sugar in the dressing and fish like salmon and octopus. Had two steaks, 1.2 pounds total and 32 pieces of shrimp.

Before my meal glucose test was 82.
Thirty mins after my first bite, when I felt the insulin rush, glucose test was 108
One hour and 10 mins after my meal, glucose test was 91.

Day 4

128 blood glucose, one hour after after 5 eggs with 5 slices of nature's own and slice of salmon. 4:30 pm

97 Blood Glucose, one hour and 30 mins after last meal. 5pm

Had one pound of steak. Tested glucose and was 100, thirty mins after eating. 5:30pm

Tested glucose 1 hour after having a steak at 98. 6pm

Glucose test 1 hour and 30 mins after a steak. 85. 6:30


Day 5

Fasted glucose came in at 77.

7:00 pm Meal included 2 Mcdonalds New Quarter Pounder burger and a 6oz Salmon (Blood glucose at 171, 30 mins after eating.) No more Mc Donalds for me.

7:30 (Blood Glucose 161)

8:30 (Blood Glucose at 111 and 101, tested twice) This is 2 hours after eating

9:07 ( Blood Glucose 117, 116, 116, tested 3 times) Ate some shrimp after testing cooked in olive oil.

Just so you know, a fasting blood sugar number is generally considered what your BS is the first thing in the AM. Blood sugar at night does lots of wild things. Diabetes is complicated.

Best to you. Good Luck.
