Watched this forum since type 2Diagnosis found it very interesting. Diagnosed dec 2020. Decided not to start on meds to early so chose diet and excercise. Initial hba1c was 55mmol/mol three months later Lost 2stone hba1c was now 41mmol/mol.
Lost another 2 stone latest Hba1c 33. My original weight was 15stone. Feeling much healthier and no symptoms I am now looking to reduce post meal bg
Incidentally my age is 63
 
You've done the hard work already.

If you're having post meal spikes then 3 choices, reduce carbs, increase exercise post meals or add drugs.

How high are the spikes you're seeing ?
 
I am already low carb. Usually after meals I exercise. If I don't exercise it used to take 3 to 4 hours till get bg down to normal but recently it has came down within 2hours I think my igt may be improving but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for the reply. I hope your keeping well. my spikes usually don't go above 12mmol/l but only just started really checking post meal.
 

you are doing amazingly...... just keep on..
