OK
I'll make it very brief so that translation should be
simple:
Use your meter to test your blood glucose level one hour
after you finish eating. If it is over 8(145) then reduce
the rice and add more meat and vegetables next time you have
that meal.
As well as rice, you can also reduce sugar, flour, bread,
corn and fruits to reduce your numbers.
Keep repeating that at each meal until your numbers are
lower.
Add half an hour of moderate exercise (Tai Chi is good) to
your day after a meal.
Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.
