Well he is young and thin, so probably not type 2 or prediabetic and his glucose comes down too nicely for type 1. He says in the video he is not diabetic but you know, a lot of diabetics don't know about their illness... His glucose curves are fairly nice anyway to suggest any serious problem...

I will leave this here so you feel a little better about 8.3 spike www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAnS0WGU2dc&t=820s

Spiking only to 120 at 1 hour mark and going back to 90 after 96g of carbs is like perfect model glucose response, in case of episode of hypo you would go to 70s at least. A lot of healthy people stay elevated at 100-130 mg/dl at 2 hours mark after high fat high carb meals, and a lot of people...

People without diabetes spike to 12 after drinking coke, saw that on multiple examples

Is it actually possible to go into DKA with too much insulin? DKA happens when glucose is very high and doesn't get absorbed at all and your body can't process any, so you start burning fat with crazy rate and your blood becomes acidic. Are you sure it was actually DKA? Didn't you have like...

I also think stuff like this from type 1 diabetics is useful to see that high fat and proteins meals do give significant spikes in an insulin-deprived body even after dealing with first initial spike...

I noticed kind of the same thing in my thread https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/multiple-insignificant-spikes-after-some-meals.189734/ and Ronancastled left an interesting graph out there. My spikes are kind of similar to you, from 4.x fasting to 5-6 mmol for a few hours, and yours I...

I wasn't even aiming for low carb but I once had 10 mmol/L urine ketones. It was in the beginning of my diet changes and I guess those drastic changes made me a fat burning machine for some time. Those ketones disappear when I have a few cheat days, as I get more both calories and carbs. My two...

There are different sweeteners in terms of glucose\insulin impact and effects on your body. Famous "explosive diarrhea" ***** bears have sweeteners inside them. Sweet drinks with aspartame seem fine if you don't have huge problems with your liver. Stevia and erythritol are the overall best...

I've heard that extreme lows can cause some brain damage which is either permanent or lasts for a while

Just saying you should be careful with workouts with high blood pressure, I guess even cardio can be a bit dangerous if your resting pressure i 240/130. It is probably quite a bit better now, but still. You also should be careful with going from no exercises to 5 days a week on exercise bike as...

Morning glucose is affected by dawn phenomenon in case if you have problems with glucose metabolism. As far as I know, healthy people don't get significant glucose spikes, at least it doesn't last for more than a few minutes. I will give...

Hey, I might be a bit off topic because I was only diagnosed as a prediabetic, but after going from 100 kg to 87 kg of body mass, my HOMA-IR on 2x850 mg metformin twice a day in the middle-closer to the end of a meal was 1.2 with 4.3 fbg and 6.4 insulin. 1 week-off metformin and in 3 weeks...

Yes, I guess my glycemia looks like that of a healthy person now and I am not on tryhard diet, so everything looks good for now. But I had fasting hyperglycemia, epic high HOMA-IR and failed OGTT test in February, so I consider myself in prediabetes remission. If I gain weight again everything...

I wasted some money and tested 2-3 times each time, posted value is average between those measurements, so a bit less unlikely to be wrong. I guess with type 2 prediabetes situation is a bit different, a lot of guidelines I saw say you should avoid jumping more than 2-3 mmol higher than your...
