[QUOTE="Carbdodger, post: 445014, member: 37071"] Hello TuTusweet I would sincerely hope that no one suggests that you stop asking questions. Great way of learning. Yes the objective is to avoid spikes which are generally caused by anything that turns to glucose through digestion such as sugar, fructose (inc fruit), lactose (milk), carbohydrates (inc all baked products, potatoes, rice regardless of colour, etc). I was advised that the 2 hour test is on the basis that someone without diabetes would be back to a non-DB level of blood glucose after 2 hours. I also test at 1 hour when trying new foods/combinations to ascertain what the peak of the spike is. If you can control the spikes you are least likely to suffer DB related problems. It's likely that anything above 7 will cause LT damage. So the lower the better. Therefore eating a low carb diet will help minimise the spikes. I can only speak as a T2. Cd [/QUOTE]
