Then you test again 2 hours after your first bite. Look at the rise from before to after. The only items in that meal that will have caused that rise are the carbs. The fats and proteins don't do this. Keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside. You will soon see patterns emerging and be able to seriously reduce the carb elements or eliminate some completely.At the risk of sounding very harsh, 150g carbs is the maximum amount to be considered low carb, and is a very difficult amount for our bodies to cope with. I suggest your high levels are due to bread, rice, noodles, bananas and oranges, plus milk. All these are very high in sugar and carbs. If you cut out those particular carbs and stick to meat, fish, salads, vegetables (not root veg) and fats your levels will improve. Have a look at this <a href="https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds" target="_blank">https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/60-seconds</a> which gives lists of good foods and foods to avoid. You will find it useful.</blockquote>
