Thankyou that makes sense. So if there is no 'spike' why would there be an overproduction of insulin? I have had this for many years I am only 22 and not overweight but I keep reading it is a sign of prediabetes hence why I am looking for that spike I guess because it is worrying me.

I then ate two pieces of brown toast and tested two hours after and my level was 4.4. Isn't your blood sugar supposed to increase? Does this mean something is wrong? Thankyou
