I'm posting for my hubby as he doesn't "do" computers and I found out recently from our GP's receptionist, that he's been a type 2 diabetic since late 2019. (NHS England complaint made).
We got some help already from here (thank you) and are both slowly adopting a Keto diet. Him, more than me, obviously (I'm hoping to avoid diabetes if possible).
He is not on any meds yet as he wants to try an control it by diet, his BG level over 3 months (dr blood test) was 54. He's 51, has a manual job on a pig farm (steel toecap boots and wellies) and is a few stones overweight, though he's lost 1 stone so far, changing to keto.
From what I understand, normal BG is between 4-7 and it's ok to go up to 8.5 (but no more) 2 hours after meals. Is this correct?
