2) for a few days eat more complex carbs
And see what changes if anything. See how
you feel for one thing.

Remember home testing can be off by 10
points either way.
There is no further tests that the endocrinologist wants me to take, for now. I inquired from my PCP about Glenn's suggestion but she talked to my endocrinologist and as expected, she politely told me that she has to defer to my endocrinologist thyroid/glucose treatment.

I already did on several occasions the "before and after" test. Since my BS generally goes down to normal on the 2nd hour, the spike at 1-hour post prandial is based on a normal baseline before meal.

I am eating mostly complex carbs and very minimal regular carbs.

Thank you.
