Interesting article in today's Daily Mail by the author of a new book
Glucose Revolution about managing BG levels, claiming it's not just about what you eat but how and when you eat.
JESSIE INCHAUSPÉ: I have discovered it could be as simple as deconstructing that lunchtime tuna sandwich so you eat the salad first, then the tuna, and the bread last.

Hi
@Martin.A and others.
Interesting that something like this has hit the mainstream media - though of course her publishers and the vendors of the continuous monitoring device may have encouraged the newspaper's interest...(wink emoji)
I also found that trialling a continuous monitoring device informed me further about how my body / blood glucose behaves in different circumstances, and confirmed a lot of what I had already understood from my GP, others on this forum, and my own research.
This article seems to helpfully bring together a number of diet tricks and research outcomes that are "out there", albeit in the context of losing weight, rather than controlling excessive blood glucose levels. So rather then a new theory, its adding to our understanding.
I suspect her advice might be most relevant to those like you, I and
@travellor who are managing Type 2 by diet and exercise, without the intervention of medication. For Type 1s and Type 2s reliant on insulin or other medication, the story may be a little different, owing to the impact of when medication is applied, etc.
Anyway, I found it a great read and something helpful to share with others to help explain my "odd" dietary habits.
Cheers. Nick
