Hi, I’ve just used my first CGM of the year, and was trying various drug/supplement combinations to flatten my glucose response to my main meal of the day.
The meal consisted of 1/4 steak pie, potatoe tots, carrots, mushy peas and gravy with a homemade rhubarb crumble and custard for dessert.
The drug combination was 500mg of Gymnemic Sylvestre (containing 75% Gymnemic acid) taken 15 minutes before the meal and 50mg of acarbose chewed with the first bite of the meal.
This is the result I got, unfortunately this was the last day of my CGM, so I couldn’t do further investigations. The blue triangles on the chart represent medication and the orange circle food.
I think in all my times of using CGM’s, this is the flattest glucose response I have ever had, after a large meal.
As anyone tried something similar ?
