Previously when testing I would see a return to baseline after 2 hours or so. Obviously not ideal as then when I have dinner I'm starting from an elevated position. See attached for what I mean - ate today at 1pm and am still pretty high at 5.30pm[ATTACH=full]65233[/ATTACH]For context I'm eating low(er) carb, probably about 30-40g per day.I'm picking up management again after 5 years of not controlling my T2 so perhaps I'm expecting too much too soon, but is there any reason to be concerned about this? Or should I just continue riding it out and see how it goes? Obviously my main worry is that I've knackered so many beta cells in those last few years that getting back to a baseline of 4-5 consistently might no longer be possible.For what it's worth my average numbers have been steadily going down since I started controlling them again. I just remember that last time I did this the drop-offs were quicker.Any thoughts appreciated! I'll be asking my doctor too but I've always found people on this forum to be more expert on this stuff</blockquote>
