Sorry to hear that you had a wasted journey jj.

Your sister may be a nurse, but it sounds like she is not trained in diabetes or nutrition, as the advice she has given you is either poor or has been misinterpreted.

I would be concerned by blood sugar of 8.7. I have been advised to keep mine below 7 one hour after eating.

You should be able to get lots more info from the site that mommy6 has linked to.
