Low Carb works for most people. Use a BG meter or CGM to test that your meals are low enough in carbs. Here's the simple blog post which got me on the path to T2D remission (over 4yr remission so far): https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html

You really need your 2hrs after first bite BG readings down to under 8.0 (worst case) or less than 2.0 above your pre-meal reading if you can do that.

Hi @kevkave if you don’t mind me asking what is your typical diet like. I ask as members may be able to make some dietary suggestions for you.

Hi @kevkave could you just clarify. In your thread starter you say you’re not on meds, but your profile says you take Gliclazide. Which is correct please?
