Its been 2 weeks and I have been testing my sugar level and everything seems to be good till today. The level was 128 before lunch and 2 hrs after lunch it was 256. I checked again and it was 198. I thought of giving it one more hour to see how it is. I checked after one hour. It was 232 to begin with. I checked 5 more times with 2 different machines. These readings were taked within a minute. The reading was 198, 176, 166, 164, 154. how can this be. The level came down from 232 to 154 within 2 minutes.
All I had for lunch is Brown Rice (2 cups), Spinach, Low fat curd, Lentils. After 2 hours I had a cup of Jasmine Green tea. Any insight on this???

I have been eating this everyday and my sugars were fine except for that day. Now its back to normal. The only thing I am not able to reason out was the sudden drop in the level. Moreover, I waited for an hour and checked them again. It was 150. Now its back to the usual range. < 110 before meal and between 130 and 160 two hours after meal.
But I will keep the carb count in mind and try to remove rice from my diet.
Thanks again.View Thread

Can anyone suggest any recovery drink for diabetes after workout like p90x.
The drink that we make currently has the following.
10 oz water
2 oz orange juice
1 tsp A-AKG (arginine)
1 tsp L-Glutomine
1 scoop Accelerade Orange
1 scoop of 100% vanilla whey protein

Today I came across an article by an MD (I lost the link for the article) and she mentioned that we must delay eating if sugar level before meal is more than 150.
What I did yesterday is correct or not. Is there anything I need to be worried about.
I am diabetic for almost 7 years. I am 36 years old male and my A1C has always been between 6.1 and 6.9.
