[QUOTE="deborabaratto, post: 2178037, member: 288591"] I definitely agree with him, that we should know how much certain food affects our blood sugars, so that's why I think its important to use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (like Libre) or monitor with a meter, but not necessarily to avoid certain foods, but to know how you can improve you insulin management when you eat something that thing. Doing that I discovered that I should bolus for my meals (usually around 50g of carbs) 10-15 min before eating and to always take half the amount before and the other half when I start eating. It works great for me :) In the way that makes you "knock it out" the spike with the proper amount of insulin at the right time. And yes, non diabetics can spike up until 140 mg/dL (7,7 mmol) 2h after eating, but not more than that (source: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html[/URL]) [emoji16] [/QUOTE]
