[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 853364, member: 93179"] AS far as I know it's the two hour level that you perhaps should be watching as I believe everyone diabetic or not has some sort of earlier (1 hour) spike. if you have a potter through old threads, I'm sure there are some where people have tested their non-diabetic relatives' 1 hour post meal spikes and these have often been quite high! :wideyed: The NICE guidelines on the UK diabetes main site just specify that for 2 hours after meal levels should be: [LIST] [*]non diabetics: under 7.8mmol/L [*]type 2s: under 8.5 [*]type 1s: under 9.0 [/LIST] I've always aimed for and generally manage to stay under the 7.8 non diabetic mark, though pre meals and fasting levels aren't so good for me. Have you thought about just eating extra fats without the carbs - which should keep your levels lower, and weight OK, as it's the carbs that are (now) supposed to be the "weight-putter-onners ".
