Aiming the question (which is just out of curiosity- I’m not super worried or anything) in particular at our members who are super-knowledgeable about the science behind this thing!
I’m type 2 on meds (metformin, dapaglifozin and Ozempic) with a self-funded CGM. I’ve noticed particularly recently that spikes I have with my meals (and I don’t mean things like pizza, just normal lowish-carb meals) tend to be quite late (so that the “2 hour” measurement can be a bit misleading - I’m often exactly the same as pre-meal at 2 hours, then peak at 2.5 hours and back to baseline at 3 hours
(Eg this graph would be an example: ate at 19:15 at 6.1mmol, started to rise at 21:00, the peak was at 21:30 (8mmol) and back to baseline (6.1mmol) at about 22:15. So the spoke was pretty short, but “late”.
Does this suggest, eg that first phase insulin response is OK but some sort of delay in second phase? I don’t know exactly how these things work.
