Fellow T2s, there's clearly a link between what we put in our mouth on one day and what our numbers are the following morning and I, for one would be really interested to see the connection between the 2. There are currently 2 different threads for this information but no connection. Shall we join them up?
For example, my bloods were 6.9 this morning and I am working hard to reduce them with a LCHF diet.
Yesterday for breakfast I had coffee with cream, lunch was some pate and celery and a spoon of peanut butter and dinner was stewed green beans, cauliflower, tomatoes and garlic with some grated cheese and 2 fried eggs. I was hungry at bedtime so had some cheese.
Others have much deeper knowledge than I do, but suspect that most would say that the general rule of thumb is the lower carb the better and you'll see that on the forums, dropping weight has been essential for many (myself included and a work in progressHi - I have a question. Has anyone tried to systematically build a data of what food raises blood sugar by how much? For example 2 slices of Toast and a cup of tea without sugar. Is such data available anywhere? I appreciate that it varies by individual but still may give useful relative information. Would be not so difficult for anyone using Freestyle libre system.
My questions are:
1. does this idea make sense
2. Will it be useful for anyone other than the person doing it?
3. Will such tests need to be done in conjunction with normal medication or without.
I saw some youtube videos by beat diabetes where he tests foods on himself at 30,60,90 mins and this makes we wonder whether a database contributed to by many diabtics would be of use.
Please excuse my ignorance.
