It can be a bumpy road at first, but it sounds like you are doing all the right things and heading in the right direction. Pre and post meal testing is definitely a good thing to do but don't fret on every result - there are all sorts of reasons for outliers and if you're heading the right way...

All good advice thanks- my doc wants me back on Metformin. I am resisting.

Grrrr. HbA1c gone from 40 to 42. No apparent reason. Good adherence to low carb. Could go lower still I suppose. Need to have a long think, but this is the first measurable backwards step in my T2 experience. Not a big backwards step but not one I can ignore. Feeling a bit downhearted and...
