I only test occasionally now since I know what my reaction to my meals is (unless I'm ill, stressed, coming down with an infection etc.)Some of us Type 2's react strongly to the carbohydrates in beans and legumes - have you tested this on yourself?The only beans I eat are french beans i.e in the pod. The same with peas - only 'mange tout' because otherwise they raise my BG too much.Since your BG numbers are still quite high, perhaps I should ask what a typical day's meals are like for you, together with BG levels before a meal and then 2hrs after first bite?</blockquote>
