Look up dawn phenomenon for info to explain why. But yes long term those are good goals. The before and after meals levels should respond much quicker to a change in diet. Low carb is anything under about 130 a day. If I ate that many I’d have sky high levels. For others it’s ok. I need to be under 50 and ideally lower than that. Many aim for 20g. There’s no magic ratio. No proven formula. That’s why a meter is needed. It will show you what’s too much for you. Pick a point you think you can achieve and see how you respond. If readings aren’t low enough go lower. If they are great then you’ve guessed well.  Of course you can eat lower than you need to by this method to further relieve stress on your system if you choose to. After a while doing so it’s common to get negligible rises at the 2 hrs point.</blockquote>
