I don't let it get above 8.5, then I have breakfast to try and reset the numbers.
I was just out shovelling snow and it went low,like 4, I get weak and need to invest something sweet.
I want to share something I learned in the last day or so.
I was watching a British tv show on Drs and health.
Most of us like pasta but are reluctant to enjoy it because of how it rings up the Blood Sugar.If u cook the pasta and eat it cold, the blood sugar is reduced significantly but if you let it cool and then re heat it with what ever your preparing it with it further keeps the numbers down, something like 30 %..So apparently how this works is that preparing it this way moved it tru to the large bowel where it passes tru like fibre.
I tried it tonight ,cause my wife wanted spaghetti and meatballs, so I had a nice portion with meatballs and basil pesto and a sweet dessert, and 2.25 hrs., my blood sugar was 8.2
So here's a good way for people who enjoy pasta to eat without numbers going sky high.

@vanin11 Thanks, that's really interesting, I will have to try it. Usually I get a whole wheat pasta or I make pasta for my husband and squash for me to put the sauce on, and that's OK too.

Yes, love pasta. I'm going to have to try that trick.
I never go anywhere without carrying glucose tablets. Like you shoveling snow, I have had low glucose while working in the yard and was almost not able to open the package of sugar tablets. The tablets are inexpensive and can save your life.
