Diabetes researcher gets type 2 and figures out how to eat to his meter

A researcher at the University of Virginia School of Medicine was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and quickly figured out how to eat to his meter to keep his blood glucose levels in check. He's even gotten a grant to do a little trial on type 2 patients with his "alternative strategy" using CGM as explained in this news article titled "AN END TO DIETING FOR PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES?":

Now that CGM systems are getting cheaper, I keep thinking that they should be used as part of the training for people with Type2, as they show the effect of meal chooses so clearly.
