[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1116603, member: 41816"] I think 8-9 falls within the range of what normal people [I][B]may[/B][/I] get (we are all different). Some people quote 11 as 'normal'. But the key thing is that normal people only hit those numbers for a few minutes, occasionally, after pigging out. Not every day, for up to an hour, after ordinary medium carb food. My partner (who has patiently submitted to prick testing when I feel the need to persecute him) has never been tested above 6.6 Yet I have a friend whose bg regularly rises to above 8 after carbs. HOWEVER, who is to say that this friend (curvacious 50+ years) isn't heading towards diabetes? She hasn't had a test with the doc in years, and gains weight really easily. She thinks I am a scaremonger and enjoys eating toast. And feels she is immune. After reading the [URL="http://www.bloodsugar101.com"]www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL] website I decided to set my own preferred upper bg limit at around 7 to 7.5 and I only hit that on a bad day. I want to be in the 5s as much as possible. I have to be very low carb to achieve this. It is lower than the official guidelines, but I don't place much faith in the official guidelines. The same people who set them believe T2 to be a progressive condition. But I believe it is only progressive if keep abusing our bodies with high blood glucose... [/QUOTE]
