[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2616354, member: 93179"] As a T2 I was quite able to reduce my glucose to pre-diabetic levels within 3 month s of diagnosis essentially by choosing to ignore the usual Eatwell Plate dietary "advice" and instead cut right back down on high carbohydrate food, some of this time before I'd learned about using a meter. But I've discovered the benefits of this extremely useful tool and since then I've kept my T2 at mainly low end pre-diabetic and high normal levels for well over 9 years now , the last six or so of these without any need for diabetic medication. I've never bothered with GI. amd in spite of being ancient aqnd more or less inactive now I:ve also managed to "accidentally" lose a much needed 30 kg or so of surplus weight. My meter allows me to set target ranges and for the majority of the time I can keep to fairly [B]stable[/B] levels btetween 5 and 7.5 mmol/l - so that's hardly just seeing troughs and spikes I think! :banghead: And I'm not the only T2 who's managed this, there are many of us here who have achieved better/lower glucose levels than mine.
