[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1153344, member: 277199"] If you are averaging 6-8 mmol that is already very well controlled. And it is normal to spike to 9.5 when T2D consume a little white rice...inspite of what everyone says about low glycemic index etc, for many of us when we test 1hr/2hr/3hr we can see the surge. I would love to get a Freestyle Libre just to graph this out :D I find that the real challenge is not the post meal numbers, but the fasting level. It stayed high above 7mmol for a month or so...until I started intermittent fasting for 2 days in a row. So with a couple of weekly or fortnightly IF, fasting level stabilize around 5.5 mmol. I believe if I add high intensity exercise to improve muscle mass, then it would be possible to reach fasting level of 5mmol. That's the goal. For now I am only able to reach below 5 mmol either with fasting or drinking the correct raw puer tea. I find it amazing that carbs reduction shows almost immediate improvement as I had tried many kinds of chinese herbs before and my family had struggled for years to improve my dad's without much success...
