[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2574954, member: 493719"] Well to try and answer two questions The idea of 'Spiking' as I understand it, IS something diabetic AND non diabetic people do THAT is normal. The issue seems to be the longevity of the spike Below my signature is Jenny ruhls diabetes 101. Jenny Ruhl T2D patients always get worse.?.mmh [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bloodsugar101.com/organ-damage-and-blood-sugar-level[/URL] I liken the body to a pot. A fuel tank, if you like Over time for those who build up resistance to carbs (type 2). The pot doesn't drain out as well at the bottom like it does for non diabetics . At some point it begins to spill over as it's overfill drips then pours into our bodies. Our poor body tries it best to mop it away and tidy up, by stashing it into places it shouldn't really be (Mainly as fats wrapped around every organ and as the visceral fat around our bellies in particular ) And there is an argument that diabetes MAKES people fat. V FAT turns people diabetic . At some point that stuffing away of fats causes issues and if left untreated begins the progressive nature of the illness of type 2 The solution for type 2's is Follow doctors advise and slow but don't stop the decline Follow a low carb diet and POSSIBLY slow the decline enough not to as big an issue as it could be . I imagine well managed the decline might not even be an issue as other age related illnesses get us . So exercise spiking ..normal. Spiking after food ...normal. But for type 2's it's the duration of the spikes that causes us damage . Issue for type 2 is HOW to reduce the pot of glucose inside us And how to slow or stop it refilling each time we eat . I think of it as one step forward using up glucose versus 2 steps back if we add more carbs then our meters say we can handle . The idea of the 2 mmols or less increase is where type 2's try to mimic a non type 2's glucose response . A long winded reply, but I hope of some use seeing the difference between type 2 & non type 2. Good luck finding your answers. [/QUOTE]
