Have you been keeping a daily total of your carb intake based on the portions and meals you are having @Franthepotter ?
It can help to interpret your numbers and responses to foods to have a vague idea of daily carb intake. As @Drummer says, a meal consisting of just leeks and courgettes wouldn’t normally be expected to raise glucose levels much at all, unless you are it with something more obviously carby.
While individual tolerance to carbohydrates varies, and some do better on more than others, it might also be worth keeping an eye on your responses to very low carb meals in case you may have one of the rarer and more glamorous types of diabetes, that may need a different approach.
Sometime this only becomes clear with time, as any unusual aspects of your clinical presentation emerge 🙂
