[QUOTE="janeecee, post: 410002, member: 45332"] I'm still working it out as my readings and pattern seem to change every few weeks, although it's hard to work out why, and then the past few days there seemed to be promising signs, and then I had an unexpected high that would have typically produced a reading of 1.0 less. So I really cannot fathom it at all. I guess I'm not the typical prediabetic/T2 and that's why I'm having such a struggle convincing my doctors, especially since they have more or less abandoned the OGTT as a diagnostic test. I cannot work out whether variation or predictability in the diet would be better. Would the body respond better to a degree of unpredictability of carb intake or does the pancreas respond better when it knows what to expect? At the moment I'm taking the 'predictable' approach by having a small amount of carbs in the evening with (so far) no big spikes. However, after a few days it seemed to create slightly higher preprandial readings, and then the preprandial readings seemed to fall slightly, and just when I thought I had a predictable pattern the preprandial figures went up just a bit. So…what works for you? Do you have your carbs evenly divided and predictable to avoid spiking?
