11. Using a meter like the Contour Next or Next One is really helpful

One doesn’t need to be using insulin to gain good information from a meter. Medicare is even reducing the requirements for those with T2DM to be prescribed CGMs like Dexcom and FreeStyle Libre because it really shows one how and what foods affect BG. This is an odd thing, not everyone with T2DM reacts to food the same.

Now rice is almost universal among both T1DM and T2DMs in spiking BG very high
