I have just looked at 'Living with Diabetes' section 'Blood sugar levels in diagnosing diabetes' at this website. I am puzzled by the limit value for '2 hours after meal' which is 11.1 mmol/l or more. I don't understand how it can be a fixed limit value. Assume a healthy person dissolves 3kg sugar in water and quickly drinks it. My guess is that the blood level would shoot up and be higher than 11.1 nmol/l after 2 hours and go below 11.1 mmol/l some hours later. The healthy person would be incorrectly diagnosed as diabetic.
Or does the digestive system block massive amounts of granulated sugar being converted to blood sugar?
I really would like to understand this...
