    22g of carbohydrate in my dinner tonight (18g net).

    My 1hr post (I always test at 45min-1hr to see my actual 'peak') was 6.1 mmol/L (110 mg/dl)
    My 2hr post was 5.1 mmol/L (92 mg/dl)

    I do no exercise on Sunday except a dog walk. Because I exercise intensely 6 days a week (at least 3 strength training days and 3 HIIT days) - I need one day off a week to aid recovery and keep my metabolism up.

    Tomorrow morning is probably going to be pretty nasty after tonight's disappointing 111.

    Dinner was 9 g carbs/ 64g protein an hour before my "desert" cheese and cinnamon for another 2g cabs/ 22g protein with a 30 minute swim to try to pull things down.

    Hello all... BG @ 2:00 hours after starting meal was 85. Very pleased with this number. I hope this number translates to good numbers for fasting in the morning.

    I have to laugh at mine. It's not the world's best, but with the surprise at dinner, it's not too bad - 126 (and the laugh is that's where I STARTED the day at.) Hope it continues to drop before bed, or else tomorrow's going to be a VERY ugly day number wise!

    Tonite, 30 dinner carbs, 2 hrs later BS 122
    (purposely avoided sugar free candy too)....had to be the hot dog roll (although oddly similar dinner a few days before, but more carbs then, and BS was 115).
    I give up...no clue what sets it off at this point, lol

    Had a very late lunch today as I am still not feeling up to par so I took a nap at lunchtime. Will prolly just have a small dinner or snack. However I am still getting my fast walks in and it certainly helps my numbers. After lunch was 113 :)

    Mine last night was actually about 90 minutes after dinner and after 45 minutes of exercise - 133.
    I was really hoping for a bit lower because I barely had any carbs at dinner but maybe if I had not exercised.

    Good evening to al... BG @9:50pm was 106. Was surprised it was over 100, but did have a lot of carbs for dinner. It wil be interesting to see what BG is fasting in morning.

    Hope everyone has a great nights.

    Massive stress + lack of sleep + no real cardio = uh oh!

    I was overjoyed to see the 114 tonight. After today, would have been happy with anything under 130!

    2 hours after dinner it was 97. I had very few carbs since I had a big lunch at Red Lobster

    129 tonite, no shocker though as had 50 dinner carbs (2 hot dog buns) and earlier for lunch had 90 and on top of this, only ate 1000 calories today vs the 1250 I've been eating (as I didnt want to go over on fat as was already over on sugar).

    Good Morning... Had dinner at 8:00pm, therefore watching movie and didn't test until 10:15pm and was pleased with 95. However, being hungry before going to bed, thought I would try a higher carb number then I should at 11:00pm. So I had a Dessert cup and Light Cool Whip and piled that on. My fasting number this morning was 108 @ 8:58am.

    Now not sure if; 108 was because of the great late desert or just natural bell shaped curve I have experienced for years. In other words having a few days of numbers from 87-95, then few days, usually more than a few days, but numbers between 96-103, then a few days of 104-113.
    So if others have experienced this after eating late, would appreciate the comments.

    Have a wonderful day wherever you are. Cloudy, rainy and cool for this time of year here on coast of SC.

    Am clueless, sigh.:noway:

    Fell asleep before taking reading last nite, so for first time tried an a.m fasting and it was 110.
    Tonite for dinner I had 8 carbs, 2 hr reading was 111.
    Dinner was at 7:44, lunch was 68 carbs and ate before noon.
    One day last week, dinner carbs were 40 and meter was 115

    Is there a science to this?? *scratches head*

    Air angel... It is a most confusing condition: grumble: .

    I had a lunch that would have given me 2 hour numbers that would have me scratching my head and , previously left me with a reading at 2 of 122.

    Today same lunch with a beer , the number at 2:15 minutes after starting was 104. Pleasant surprise, so head scratching ; Absolutely.

    Have a great evening

    2 hour post-dinner BG was 105. Not bad considering I had half a baked potato and that usually really sets me off. I did go out after dinner and putzed around in the garden and watered plants which might have helped.

    134 a little high for me, but I haven't felt 100% the last couple of days. Honestly I'm happy with it as it is under 140 which is the American Diabetes standard and I have not taken any Novolog (fast acting insulin) shots since Saturday. Not too bad of a number considering. Have a great night everyone.

    Stress gone, eating under control (total of 103 carbs, Dinner making up 64 of them - OUCH!), and a nice swim makes for a happy 92 tonight. Hope everyone has a good evening!
