So instead of blood glucose peaking in around the second hour after first bite, when will the peak occur?

I read somewhere today that saturated fatty acids in the blood will somewhat affect the sensitivity of the insulin receptors. Maybe one way to test out will be doing a after 12hours fast, 75g glucose load with and without three table spoonfuls of palm oil. Then take the post two hours readings...

My father fasting reading is 6.8 this morning. He usually get 5.6-6.5. By the way, why is it a diet intervented pre diabetic/early diabetic type 2 after 12 hours of fasting cannot get his fasting bg level below 5.5? Shouldnt his body has the whole night to release insulin again and again and...

The meter i have has a tolerance of + - 20%. But it is accurate enough based on the readings against my food records. Maybe out of 20 times i get a weird reading and have to do it 3 times in a row to get three readings that are quite different. I will check back on the food eaten previously, if...

I want to ask this. Comparing the post meal readings after eating two meals with the same types of fat but different quantity (one with 15g versus one with 45g), other than that protein and carb (same in quality and quantity). Will the glucose reading two hours after first bite for the one with...

Atorvastatin 4Omg a day gave my dad uncomfortable muscles pain enough to prevent him from wanting to exercise and increase his bg reading by around 10%. The side effects took about two weeks to appear and a month to go away after tapering it off.

I just tested him about 9Omins after his low GI breakfast and after he brisk walk for 3Omins. The reading is 7.3. Pretty good reading. His breakfast contains 35OmL full cream milk mix with 1Og psyllium powder and 15g flaxseed powder, 6Og black grapes, 1OOg payaya.

The reason why i am doing a four hours post eating reading is to know his bg level before he eats again. His fasting readings are 6.6 - 7 previously when he was on atorvastatin. This statin is known to increase bg readings. He has since dropped statin as his cholesterol level is normal now...

6.5 will be the reading before he ate again. I will do a two hours post eating reading after lunch today for him. After breakfast reading will be less indicative as he will do a 30min exercise session shortly after breakfast.

Thanks for all the replies within such a short time.

I measured the above reading for my dad on two occasions. Once 4 hrs after breakfast and another 4 hours after lunch. Both readings is same at 6.5. He is a prediabetic. And he is now eating low gi meal with a around 40g carb load of per meal. My questions are: 1) Is 6.5 after 4 hours a good...

I did some research online and found that statin is very likely to cause insulin resistance. Anyone in this situation before and how to solve that?

I have recently tried using alcohol wipe and based on the readings I suspect that it increases the readings by roughly 1 mmol. Is that normal?

My father's recently been diagnosed with per diabetes. I have been doing a series of blood glucose readings on him. One reading that puzzled me was those taken 5 hours after his egg noodle lunch consisting of roughly 50-60 gms carb. Get readings like 5.6-5.8mmol. Yet his fasting reading is...
