Have a high carb meal and your glucose will have risen by a lot more than after a low carb meal.A glucose meter is a very useful tool to find out what works for you, I find it much more useful than aiming for a specific amount of carbs.You may also find that time of day makes a difference. Many people can handle carbs much better in the evening than in the morning.I think you'll like to have a read of this short introduction to T2 and carbs, it's written by one of our members: <a href="https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html" target="_blank">https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html</a></blockquote>
