Hello, I’m asking on behalf of a friend of mine, I know plenty about type 1 (as Youll see from my signature) but not so much about type 2!
My friend recently had her BG rested at work as part of a health screening event. Her reading was 11.9. (1hour post cheese sandwich, a small one) She went back an hour later and it was back in the normal range. The following day I tested her on my spare monitor and again, an hour & 3/4 after eating it was 11.5 but returned to normal again within the hour.
Now I know everybody’s BG can rise post meal but I think this is high for a non diabetic. She doesn’t have any symptoms like blurred vision/excessive thirst/excessive passing of water.
The nurse told her it was nothing to worry about and that the cheese will have slowed down the carb absorption but that doesn’t sit right with me and I don’t think from a sandwich I’d estimate to have around 16g of carb, & a 10g Apple (sorry forgot that,) her BG should raise that much. If she ate something very high in carb, then I’d be concerned just how high she’d go.
Btw I, not trying to diagnose her! And she has booked a gp appointment, I’d just
I’d to be a bit more informed about bg in non type 1’s
