Hi and welcome to the group, Sheelrc . :-)

Did you talk to your doctor about changing your diet/start using Emmer Wheat? If not, please let them know you are thinking about changing your diet so that both of you ( you and the doctor) are on the same page and they won't wonder why the blood sugars have changed. Please let us know what you find out. We don't want anyone getting sick or worse. :-)

Thanks for the information MrRigatoni . We get Emmer wheat here in India mostly. Other Farro varieties are not available. We do get another ancient variety by name Paigambari wheat, which i found to be not very much effective as emmer for a T2D like me.
