    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    I must do this often enough because my local McDonald's always puts a knife and fork in the bag and puts the melted cheese in between the egg and sausage patty! Today: 0% Oikos Greek yogurt topped with some blueberries. Switching to some lower fat choices these days after taking in the latest...

    COVID 2019 Comorbidity with Diabetes

    I also listened to Peter Attia's podcast while I went for my very lengthy walk today. There is something reassuring about his calm take on the pandemic, but he's very worried and that makes me worried too. I'm also digesting it and I plan to review the podcast notes tonight.

    Blood Sugar Spike

    Thank you all for the thoughtful replies. I've been trying my best the past week to minimize any spike....I've been treating the Libre as a bit of game....constantly trying to improve the graph. I've really come to the conclusion that I can't live within some kind of arbitrary carb allowance...

    Blood Sugar Spike

    Thanks! For me, I seem to either get a pretty substantial spike, or else no rise whatsoever. Which is pointing me towards a pretty strict LCHF lifestyle.

    Blood Sugar Spike

    These days the spikes are mostly caused due to experimentation. Trying to figure out "what can I eat". I fear I am not asking the correct question. Is something that causes a rise of no more than 2 mmol at the 2 hour mark "safe" or "not safe"? I feel like the Libre is maybe giving me too...

    Blood Sugar Spike

    OK, let's pick a different example. Go from 5.5 to 7.5 after two hours. But with a considerable spike showing on my Libre during that time. Are we concerned about being high for 2 hours or just where we end up?

    10-day moving average down slightly to 198.4 pounds or 90 kg. Been a little sedentary this week as temps have hovered around -20c, making the prospect of spending much time outdoors somewhat unappealing :eek:

    Blood Sugar Spike

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but all my searching refers to where your BS should be 2 hours post eating. If the goal is a rise of no more than 2.0 mmol/l between the first bite and 2 hours post eating, what about the time in between? In other words, are we worried about the peak or the...
