[quote=Anonymous]PP again - I’d also recommend a stelo or other OTC glucose monitor so you can get real time data on how different foods affect you.

I’ve seen a lot of CGM data from both diabetic and non-diabetic family members and there’s two important factors you need to consider. First, different foods affect people different ways so you need to learn your own patterns.  And, second the timing of what you eat, order of what you eat in timing of when you exercise will have a big impact on your blood sugars.

A CGM will let you see all these patterns. For example, carbs hit harder at night near bedtime, process carbs, always hit harder than un processed carbs, protein, before carbs decreases the size of the blood sugar, spike, and starches (pasta/rice) that have been refrigerated for a day also give a smaller spike

If you really want to get deep into this, you might want to check out the juice box podcast type two series. It started out as a type one series, but has recently branched out to be more inclusive of type twos.  It’s a podcast all about diabetes management, but it’s definitely geared towards people who want tighter management and a normal A1c, even if they’re type one diabetics (which is really hard work)
