Please talk with your doctor about the changes you may or may not want to do before doing anything. This is to be on the safe side of things.

Now before food is 86 after food I dont check it till now. I think Its improving.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Kahrelo]

What was your number when you tested the second time (after eating)?

[Kahrelo in reply to Activity2004]

After food (after 3 hours) as per accucheck it's between 142-145 today. In early morning before food, it was below 100.

[Kahrelo in reply to Kahrelo]

As accucheck hardly gives same result. 50 strips, I used it around 15 days.

So, Ill try to go lab tomorrow with this accucheck to know its telling right or not.

[Kahrelo in reply to Kahrelo]

Today it's below 120 after food.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Kahrelo]

That's pretty good. Did you eat the same food as you did a few days ago?

[Kahrelo in reply to Activity2004]

Yes. Same food. I reduced white rice

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Kahrelo]

That souds like a good idea to take the monitor with you for the lab, but if you're going for the A1c, it may not show the same picture since A1c testing is for about 3-4 month checking-- not one day only.

I feel, without taking medicine, it can be controlled right now or even reverse. Dont know though. With Gods grace I may.

I feel, medicine will make the matter worse and worse, more and more meds and land in insulin.

Im very ignorant about diabetic though. Pls, your input is appreciated
