It is important to know your starting number. If the raise is more then 2 it is too much and you have to adjust what you are eating.

What you have?1.4 rise is good.
It’s good to keep a dairy of the results and what you ate.
Then you can make sense of the patterns.

Sure.. thanks .. you mean to say HbA1c 7.0 is early stage of T2? I will check again in oct as I will complete 6 months of breastfeeding and also can concentrate to keep my carbs low. I am from India and rice is one of the main ingredients for us. However I shifted to brown rice.

Have you thought of trying cauliflower rice? Extremely low carb and you can still add spices etc.

Can you share how to prepare the same
You can buy a large cauliflower and use a cheese grater to grate it to look like rice, or you can use a food processor. You then cook eggs, meat or add extra veg to cook, add whatever spices you like and add the cauliflower rice. So in the end you'll have your very own low carb fried rice.

Or you can buy store packaged cauliflower rice to make it easier for you.

You can prepare it yourself as already said or buy it already ‘riced’. I sometimes buy it from Asda, less than £1 for two servings. I fry a bit of chopped onion, garlic, mushrooms then add the cauliflower and some turmeric. It can be used anyway rice can (I think)

But usually they say random sugar needs to be less than 200.. whenever I check my random sugar it’s always less than 160.. also post meal sugar needs to be checked withing 2 hours of a meal or after 2 hours of meal.
Your hba 1c represents 300,000 random tests (according to a podcast I heard recently) as a mean average and is regarded as reliable in conjunction with abnormal fasting glucose.
This means that it's likely that whilst you may still be pumping out plenty of insulin at other times your body isn't coping with what you are eating (specifically the carbohydrates).
Doing some checks at 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours might give you some more clues to what's happening when you eat certain meals.
It is thought that type 2s have a compromised insulin response initially so you'd expect blood sugars to stay elevated for longer after a meal.
