[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2178074, member: 85785"] If you take that everyone spikes at different times during the half hour and one and a half hours after. To find the spike and how high that spike is, can give you a lot of information about your glycaemic and insulin response to meals. The quicker the spike, the likelihood of insulin resistance, and the need to be careful with portion control to offset the spike. If that is a single food, then a combination of fats, protein and carbs will slow the digestion and the spike will be slower and less dramatic. Testing around the hour mark is a way of checking and seeing trends in how your body responds to food. This is why a food diary can be a great tool. [/QUOTE]
