Some of the T2s posting keep their levels non diabetic on 150g a day, while others are keto on 10g a meal.You really have to get a glucometer and test your own levels to see what your body can tolerate, plus ask yourself what you mean by a spike. As a T1, I don't lose any sleep if my levels spike at over 10mmol/L, as long as they come down afterwards, whereas you might be regarding 8mmol/L as a spike...There have been interesting studies done on non diabetics who wear continuous glucose monitors: their levels do spike, just not very much and not for long.</blockquote>
