Hey, dude (
@Jason uk )
Welcome.
As said above your doctor will say not to test. But it help me big time.
As I tested, tested and tested.
I basically set out a food diary.
I went low carb to begin with to lower my blood sugars.
But I also tested every 30, 60, 90 mins after eating and look to see what raised my blood sugars. This gave me an plan of what I can eat and not eat.
This approached got my Hac1 down back to normal levels by my next tested 12 weeks later.
There is plenty of good advice on this forum.
I highly recommend these books.
60 ways to lower blood sugar by Dennis pollock
The diabetes code by Dr Jason Fung.
Both they help me get my run away blood sugars under control and back into a normal range.
