Welcome to the Forum!

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

In answer to your question; your current range is very good. However, you may be over doing a bit on your extended walks. Usually, a thirty (30) minute walk is sufficient. Heavy exercise is addressed in the threads listed above.

Thanks for the help , it looks like I was watching my carbs (reducing) but also reducing protein , once I started replacing protein the variation stopped -now a range of about 4 or 5
