[QUOTE="Sgathach, post: 2253815, member: 519791"] Not as low as possible, as too low is bad too. But in a healthy range so your body can function normally and so you avoid all the nasty complications that can arise from high blood sugar. The end game I'd say is a healthy diet you can stick to that let's you eat enough, gives you enough energy to exercise and do what you wish but stay in a good range. Many people get misdiagnosed as T2 at the start, so it may be worth asking for an antibodies test to confirm your diagnosis too. Food will be largely the same but you need to be aware if it's T1 you will need insulin in the future. Also, at the beginning I admit I was a bit obsessed with testing, sometimes I tested before, after 1h and after 2h. And the spikes were sometimes huge even if they were back to normal.after 2h. Even now with my cgm I see massive drops within about 30mins from my lunch. So maybe worth to test a bit more to find out. [/QUOTE]
