What does a reading after ugali tell you?

Record the full meal, the ugali portion, the glucose just before eating and the time of the later reading. For example, a post-meal value of 17 mmol/L shows the level at that moment. A starting value of 14 and a starting value of 6 would tell very different stories. Compare several meals with similar portions and timing before drawing conclusions.

When to check and what to record

Follow the testing schedule and targets agreed with your diabetes team. A common comparison uses one reading before eating and another two hours after the first bite. Log either reading when available and add the other later. If a reading is outside your personal target, follow your care plan.

Build a meal with foods you already cook

Use half the plate for non-starchy vegetables such as sukuma wiki or cabbage, a quarter for lean protein such as fish or chicken, and a quarter for a carbohydrate food such as ugali or matoke. Use your own carb targets and include drinks when counting carbs.
