That is why my first post was to target under 5.7 before meal. To get the BG to healthy level. Standard target of 2 points difference before and 2h after is (bycouldn't ning) a little bit missleading - you can stop with over 8 BG levels for a long time and with big “spikes” - target should be to bring it down

Of course the aims should be to lower the height and the number of spikes but one has to learn to walk before one can run.
Plus, some of us would find it difficult to finance testing as you suggested i.e fbg, pre prandial, post prandial at one, two and three hour points for three meals per day plus a bedtime reading. I know I couldnt do this even short term. I think you set the bar too high for those newly diagnosed.
