I was diagnosed T2 a couple of years ago and take 2 x Metformin daily & watch the amount of Carbs/Sugar I consume.
I recently came across the excellent work of Prof Eran Segal via a TED Talk so have ordered a sensor (only), to monitor on my smartphone, my responses to various types of foods that I would normally eat for the next few weeks.
I know that the sensor will vary 5-10% from my blood readings as its measuring the fluid around my cells. I'm more interested to see what my PERSONAL readings are before and 2 hrs after certain food groups and if there are any big spikes with certain foods.
Anyone else doing this or thinks its a decent idea ?
By the way, Prof Segal was basically saying there is no perfect `one size fits all` diet for humans as everyones glucose response is different and after a large test sample he's trying to perfect an algorithm to estimate individual personalised diets.
