@ickihun what would be an acceptable level be ,doesent everyone get spikes when they eat porridge ,and does it mean that its alright for me to continue eating it.Thank you
What was your meal pre reading?
Everyone who eats a modicum of carbs will get spikes.
The trick is to eat foods or little enough of food, to spike you too high.
Say for instance, your pre meal reading was 6mmols,
You had a small potato and some veg, with a few slices of meat.
The potato would spike you higher than the veg and the Meat.
The spike could be 8mmols at one hour.
You need to get back around 6 again, to be sure the spike is not too high after two hours.
You eat to your meter.
If you find that by two hours, you are above 6mmols, then something in that meal is not good for you! And I'm certain it would be the potato!
Of course, fat plays an important role in slowing the digestion process slowed down to offset any carbs.
Getting the balance right is so important to help your diet.
