You may measure and record your FPG in the morning or when you wake up. This is your blood sugar level when you have not eaten for 8 hours. It is called FPG or Pre Prandial.FPG stands for “fasting blood glucose”.
Then, every morning, or after fasting for at least 8 hours, I took another blood testing again. Recommended targets for blood sugar level from American Diabetes Association (ADA) is less than 180 mg/dL and from American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) is less than 140 mg/dL.įor lunch and dinner, I didn't limit myself from any food or drink except it must not have any carbs and sugar. Basically, it informs us if the blood glucose has returned to normal after the meal intake. You need that to measure your "Postprandial glucose (PPG) levels - meaning ‘sugar after the meal’ - give you more important information about how the body is able to manage glucose after a meal. Check my glucose level 2 hours after eating. I ate no carbs every morning (just eggs, beef/chicken slices, fruits) and drank green tea or coffee without sugar. I started to write what I ate and drink every day and did glucose level checking using blood glucose tester device that you can find in any drugstores/pharmacies easily. But, I am not aiming to lower my body weight, I am more interested in lowering carbs consumption to maintain my blood glucose level.
I read articles about carbs diet or ketogenic diet where it could lower your body weight without sacrificing your health (notes: still many pros and cons there). Then, starting from two months ago, I tried to control what I ate and drank. That's why my doctor advise me to start controlling what I ate or that diabetes will beat me and I need to consume particular medicines at the end. My sport activities has prevent my diabetes did any damages to my body, but it could in the long run. The issue was, I didn't control what I ate and drank. Fortunately, I am a sport lover, I play tennis, golf, soccer and badminton regularly. Checking glucose level regularly can help you figure out the best balance of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.Īlso, doing light sports should help as well. Also, Carbohydrates contribute significantly more to glucose level after eating than fat and protein content of a meal. I find it important because I have diabetes and I need to control it without taking any medicines since I don't want to depend on it all the time.įrom what I have learned, you can control what you eat and drink to maintain your blood glucose level to acceptable numbers. For people that are already dealing with diabetes, this spreadsheet should be useful to find suitable eating pattern to maintain or even lowering their glucose level. Diabetes Blood Sugar Level Tracker is an Excel spreadsheet to track your glucose level regularly during your medication or diet period.
