Most/all commentators talk about pre-prandial levels and levels 2 hours after eating, but what about the initial rise? Is there a maximum that's regarded as healthy/normal?
I also get the situation where a food (eg porridge) generates a sharp peak, going high but recovering to pre-prandial level quickly, whilst another (yoghurt then toast and butter) doesn't go anywhere near as high, but stays elevated 2mmol/L higher than pre-prandial level at the 2 hour mark, descending at 3h.. Are both to be avoided, or one or both ok? (Found eating same toast with 2 boiled eggs hardly blipped relatively!).
