Just as my thread title says really - If a 2 hour post-meal rise is less than 2 but remains around 1 higher for longer than 2 hours, does this matter?
eg. pre-meal 5.2 - at 1 hour 7.2 - at 2 hours 6.5 - at 2 and a half hours 6.1 then sometimes remaining at 6 for 3-4hours post-meal.
My meals are LCHF and I feel this helps avoid a spike but then continues the rise for longer. Does it matter if my bloods are taking a while to drop to pre-meal levels again?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just curious, as I know non-diabetics can have their bs return to a pre-meal level after 2 hours. I don't expect this for me, as I'm only 3 months into my change in diet, and have no idea if I'll ever achieve a non-diabetic insulin response - but would like to know if it matters if bloods are not actually spiking but remaining slightly higher for hours at a time.
Thanks for reading.
