Let&#8217;s move on to explore the relationship between those blood sugar results and what you&#8217;ve eaten.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if your blood sugars are only elevated two hours after eating, it is likely that your diet is contributing in some way. Before you think &#8220;Oh no, I blew it!&#8221; remember eating is <em>supposed <\/em>to cause your blood sugar to rise. We are going to focus on the blood sugars that are above 160mg\/dl since that is higher than it should be and therefore, presents you with an opportunity to make a beneficial change.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to see your glucose test results as clues that help you solve the mystery of how eating affects your diabetes. Resist blame, <a title=\"Regret and Her Horrible Twin, Guilt\" href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/articles\/regret-and-her-horrible-twin-guilt\/\">guilt<\/a>, and restriction. Instead, explore possible connections between what you ate and what happens to your blood sugar. There are four components of your diet that can effect your blood sugar. These <a title=\"How do you use MyPlate when you have diabetes?\" href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/how-do-you-use-myplate-when-you-have-diabetes\/\">macronutrients<\/a> are covered in detail in <a title=\"Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes:A Mindful Eating Program for Thriving with Prediabetes or Diabetes\" href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/marketplace\/eat-what-you-love-love-what-you-eat-with-diabetes-a-mindful-eating-program-for-thriving-with-prediabetes-or-diabetes\/\">Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat with Diabetes<\/a>, so review the chapters referenced in parentheses below.
