I deduce from the case when one has to eat normal carbs level for three days before an ogtt that the body takes around 3 days to adapt to drastic change of carb. If u has been eating say 15g carbs a meal, every sudden 10g more may elevate an additional 2mmol or more.

Seems like if bg is well control and the stage is early, it is very possible to control further deterioration.

Even with good bld glucose control? Say post meal 9.0 or below, hba1c 5.8%, fgl 6.5 ave. Is there any research on whether even with good control, glucose tolerance will still worsen?

Yes. I Yes i understand. I am considering that option. On the other hand, i am taking less readings now that i have a clearer picture of his conditions. As long as he is eating within the limit, there is no need to take reading for a while. But it is best not to slack just because of a good...

Thank you for your advice. His hba1c was 5.8% in july 2017. I am doing more test on him last few weeks to ensure he is still on track. To collect some meaningful data, i did a seven times a day bg measurements, wake up, before and after eating (3 meals), recording his food intake and exercise...

I will try and see if he is agreeable to that much testing. Thanks.

The subject is my early diabete 8O years old father. He was resting on the sofa all the time and maybe got up once to go pee. Probably need a post 3 hours reading to fill in the puzzle.

Just yesterday i have a series of readings that is rather weird. Before lunch 6.1, lunch consists of 1OOg tomato blend, celery, carrot, chicken soup and 50g cooked basmati rice, 125mL unsweeten soy milk with 1O milled flaxseed and 1Og psyllium husk powder. After two hours, reading is 7.2. Very...

Thanks for all the sharings. Guess i probably need to do some extensive testings.

This type of chart is just theory?

Is this the peak of the bg level? If the reading is 8.5 for example, it can be assumed that the 1 and 3 hours reading will be less than 8.5?

For a start try to aim for below 7.O. 6.O is the cut off for normal.

6.3

If u can tolerate at least 3O-35g carb, it is a good idea to include fruits that are high in anti oxidants in your meals. Oxidation played a role in the inflammation of the blood vessels lining. Many fruits high in anti oxidants are medium in glycaemic index. Cut down on food from the grain and...

You mean in Czech Rep, they dun perform glucose tolerance test? To me that is a test that is hard to escape detection. For fasting reading, one may be able to pass by limiting their extent of carb intake.

A 75g of glucose load after a night of fasting. After two hours, if the blood glucose level is 11.0 or above, the patient is diabetic. If above 7.8 and below 11.0, is pre diabetic.

Thank you for your guidance. This morning fg level 6.3.

I used alcohol wipe on the finger and let it dry before pricking. This works well.

Just a single stressful afternoon. Specifically, my dad who is not used to going out and meet people, but on occasion he need to go out with me to visit the bank to settle certain matter.

Say causing a post meal reading to be 2mmol higher than normal with everything equal?
