Thanks for the welcomes!
I am trying to figure out what particular foods do to my blood sugar, and I am confused. This morning I had a fasting BG of 112. For breakfast I had a slice of sourdough bread (22 carbs)with margarine and hot cocoa (12 carbs--out of sugar free). My 1-hour postprandial was 238, 2-hour 173. I didn't think I would go so high on 36 carbs. I hadn't been checking postprandials before, just before meals and before bedtime. Guess I've got some learning to do....
You should always be checking post prandial. Carbs always will take you high after a meal. Do you take any meds for your D?
Yes. I take Lantus SoloSTAR at night and 2000 mg of metformin ER. I should have mentioned that I took 2 of my metformin with breakfast. I realize that was a carb heavy meal, but when I did transcription patients were often put on 45 carbs a meal so I figured it was within a good range.
You might consider going on mealtime insulin. That's too high for your postprandials.
Many of us are at our most carb sensitive at breakfast and that's a lot of carbs with no nutritive value so you might want to consider different breakfast options.
Did you have any protein with your bread and cocoa? You didn't list any. Some protein might at least help slow down the rise in BG. I agree with Zoe that breakfast can be the hardest time of day for most of us to deal with carbs.
It's great that you're aware of your need to check your numbers after meals now. It will help you in the long run. Keep up the good work!
Yes a mealtime insulin would be good. Keep in mind you’ll need to count your carbs to know how much insulin to take but it will keep your post prandials down 
Well I thought I did (have protein)! I figured since it had milk in it...just checked the ingredients and it had 1 gm. Hm. That is not a typical breakfast for me; I had been off bread for several days and was craving some. This is a wake-up call for me, checking postprandials.
Thanks everybody!
For some of us the source of the carbs is just as important as the number of carbs. Unfortunately grain can be just as problematic as sugar. You might want to check out the bloodsugar101 website. The link "How to Lower Your Blood Sugar" explains how to use your meter to find which foods are causing you trouble.
Thanks, BadMoon. I'm doing it! I've been checking postprandials for the first time, really. Enlightening....
Do you have a CDE or gone to see one ? If you can it would be beneficial to get more info seeing as it seems you don't haven't seen any "professionals". Not that they sometimes are that knowledgeable lol I've learned more her on Tud than from any "professional" I've seen :P
