The Good News: My preprandial blood sugars this morning were at 8.6.
The Bad News: Two hours after breakfast out (oatmeal, low-sugar granola, a teeny bit of brown sugar, and milk), they were at 18.4.
The Good News: Ten minutes ago, after 26 minutes of exercise and two hours after the same sort of meal that I had for dinner the night before, they were at 7.6.
The recommended range for diabetics is 4.0-7.0 preprandially and 5.0-10.0 two hours postprandially.
The lesson is twofold:
1) Even a tiny bit of refined sugar blows my readings like woah.
2) It looks like I'm finally back on track. Oh, hallelujah.

Glad to hear that your blood sugar has stabilized.
My partner has the same problem with refined sugars..if he takes in too much of them, he gets very ill. The problem is in restaraunts you never know how much refined sugar really IS in the oatmeal etc. I know when I was on Weight Watchers, (which is similar to a diabetic diet, if followed properly), there were times I'd think I had eaten healthy and it turned out the points values were huge because of the specific restaraunt prep. Ugh.
You can always ask the restaraunt. If only we went like the USA, where it is all listed on the menu.
Anyhoo, hope you are well.
