However, its panic to see a reading of 6.8 as an 8.1. I almost declared my wife diabetic as well!

Disappointed, just tried codefree and it seems over 1.2 mmol/l higher than my normal readings, and it confirmed when i checked against Finetest Lite.

Well my area of interest is postprandial peaks and BG numbers and i don't find through search except these old posts. Not sure what to do. Thank you for your intervention :)

Hi there, new to this forum. Just wondering how have been your BGs acting since then, are you still in 4s and managing it well with diet? There is something you may need to test, which is the 3 hour reading. In some diabetics sometimes peak is delayed.

I peak always at 2 hours and no change in my BG at one hour. I guess like @Mep said i digest slow or its may be due to low carb and protein diet? I am still interested though to know anyone with an a1c close to 5% what peaks they see after meals? I normally stay between 5 and 7 (day/night). What...

So just to update you guys, this high BG stayed for almost 36 hours. From this afternoon, i am back to 5s mmol/L postprandial, which was the normal before the vaccine. I didn't have any other symptoms though, just a bit of shoulder discomfort for 24 hours. Please share your experience of vaccine.

Body's immune response will get activated after any vaccine, and to do so your body will need some extra energy and liver will start dumping some sugar into your blood which may cause slight elevation in the blood sugar reading over the course of few days. Actually you will see the same BG...

Impressive stats. Would you mind telling your weekly food/exercise routine as a guideline please? I know every body is different but just a generic guidance to see how can someone get his a1c below 30 which is absolutely amazing and very well with the normal ranges Dr. Bernstein suggests 4.2-4.6%

Jumping into this a little late but per Dr. Bernstein who is undoubtedly the best living diabetic and diabetologist in the world, if you have not lost your erection completely for some long time, it gets improved as you control your BG close to normal (83 mg/dl). From his patient's experience...

Just wondering how you get your daily protein and nutrients intake using just one meal a day?

I read a study (I guess it was in Wheat Belly) that concluded diabetics produce 60% more AGEs products than non-diabetics. I would think those with poorly controlled diabetes.

This is very interesting read by David Mendosa for determining normal A1c levels between 2 controversial extremes. https://www.healthcentral.com/article/the-normal-a1c-level

Actually i just found an interesting study, https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/89/1/97/4598292 Please look at the table. You can download PDF. This answered several of my questions because they showed peaks at 60, 90, 120 minutes with different foods in healthy persons but still can...

I am not sure how to get this message out but it would be extremely useful if we get first-hand knowledge of postprandial BG readings and the type of food we eat. I believe this is the most useful information to share among the community and will save everyone countless readings based on other's...

Thanks for bringing the discussion up again :) i am T2 and sorry to mention that I take low carbs from veggies and moderate protein diet including fat that comes with protein (like cheese or steak etc). So it was the same meat with a 10 carbs veggies.

I have researched this extensively and the consensus is always that its very hard to maintain BGs when you have abnormal sleeping patterns. If you can not switch the job, the best way is to take your food with you to avoid any high carb food while at work. Night shifts probably affect because of...

Welcome to the family. I was diagnosed recently as well. If you suddenly developed this after the illness, this could be due to steroid injections and some treatment they use for Covid, you may need to search for Dr. Bernstein youtube and search for Covid and diabetes where he has explained it...

Its not the relationship of carb to blood pressure, its rather relationship of high carb affecting blood sugar and then higher blood sugar to your blood pressure due to the AGEs production. Advanced Glycation Endproducts. You probably could read about "Wheat Belly" online where Dr. William Davis...

Metformin/Glucophage XR/SR or slow release does not affect peaks or timing and reaches its maximum affect in 7 hours. Metformin in general affects how much its concentration is in blood after you start taking it regularly (within few weeks). So i really dont think timing should be an issue...

I don't know why i always stumble upon these old posts, but i would like this to be updated unless there is a new post on the same topic? I have been testing vigorously past few weeks and my BG are normal after 1 hr or rather unchanged. I get peak at 2 hrs. I am on a low carb diet Dr. Bernstein...
