I am not even convinced of the glucose measurement's repeatability. The other thing that is indeterminate that varies from person to person is the glucose peak and when it occurs after a meal. Most measure after two hours. What if the peak occurs after one hour? What if this peaking is food-dependent? I am trying to tie down the peaking time with a CGM. The peak seems to occur anywhere from one to one and one half-hour. After two hours it is below 140.Also, which one defines Type 2, a fasting value of less than one hundred, or a two-hour after-meal value of less than 140? Also, do both fasting and after-meal must conform, not just one of the two? What if one is OK and the other is not? As a vegetarian, the option to choose a food with few carbs is limited as most of them have carbs. Even after carb counting you may have to starve a bit to achieve the standards of control.</blockquote>
