Guys, sharing this as I'm pretty excited.

I'm pretty new to finger pricking so this may be old news to the veterans here, but here it goes:

- I had a low carb meal of lean kangaroo meat soup (with cabbage), a large piece of salmon and a piece of korean fried chicken, finished off with a cup of green tea.
- around one hour post-meal - reading was 7.7. I did a 120 squats (moderate intensity), and then a hot shower after.

2 hour post-meal reading was 4.3, 4.6 and 4.3! (triple testing to confirm).

It could be the combination of green tea + the squats that significantly lowered my 2 hour post-meal.

Might not work for everyone, but sharing it here and let me know if it works for you :)

PS: T2 controlled with diet and exercise. Lost 11 kilos in 5 months based on Prof. Roy Taylor's approach.
 
My money would be on the low carb meal and the squats, muscles tend to gobble up glucose, especially big greedy one's like thigh muscles.
I love green tea and drink it regularly, can't say I've noticed it lowering my levels to any great extent.

I fell off the green tea wagon for a while but jumped back on 4 days ago and I think I can say that its impacted on my levels. I am flirting in the 5s again which for me is so good.

I'm not saying that green tea has no benefits, I've seen several reports of it helping with blood sugar control and other things.
I just think that the op's drop from 7.7 to 4.3 in a hour would have more to do with the exercise and low carb meal than the green tea.
After all if green tea were that effective, it would probably cost significantly more and be harder to get your hands on than it is now.
