Hi, I have T2 and started taking BG readings recently after it was clear I wasn’t managing as well as I thought I was. I’ve been eating low carb (in fact carb-paranoid) for the last couple of months and not really getting the results I was expecting.
My pre-meal never seems to go much below 7 mmol/L and then 2hrs after eating goes up to 8.4 or 8.5 or so. Is that a ‘spike’? Am I supposed to keep numbers below 8.5 on average, or at any time I take a reading? How do I get the pre-meal down further if I already avoid almost all carbs?
