What's the highest medically tolerated BG value for you to live without future
complications? From your other posts about Shabat bread, hand washing and
prayer recitation, I'd say your body is telling you that it can barely tolerate
any grains. Either you resign yourself to high BG values or give up grains in
all forms. I understand that as an observant Jew, this is difficult for you to
do. But, it's slightly heartbreaking to see you trying to bargain this much
with your body.
