    spiking at 3 hours after first bite of meal is this bad?

    i had bought the stelo cgm before all that and i figured it was a waste of 100 dollars so i decided to use it. i know the numbers are good, but spiking to 116 or more 3 hours after the first bite can't be good to do everyday twice a day, right?

    spiking at 3 hours after first bite of meal is this bad?

    i know the fat is delaying it im just wondering if that's a problem. the numbers are normal always but the times in which my blood sugar is elevated is what worries me. having a spike of 116 or even higher which has happened at the 3 hour mark whether it's after the first bite or the last just...

    spiking at 3 hours after first bite of meal is this bad?

    wanna preface by saying im a non diabetic with a 5.2 a1c and low insulin levels. trying to find how to not prolong my blood sugar spikes from meals and still get in enough calories for the day. what you see here is my lunch (which is the same meal as my dinner) it's a serving of oats, 32g...

    good A1c, good insulin levels, handle carbs well, but high fasting sugars...help?

    i mean kinda. it's just a really short walk to the bathroom i've only ever tested those three times because any attempt since those i can barely draw enough blood. the morning is really bad for me in terms of drawing blood so i just don't even bother testing. i mean i could probably draw enough...

    good A1c, good insulin levels, handle carbs well, but high fasting sugars...help?

    i'm sorry i don't mean to be annoying but how is high 90s and low 100s for fasting optimal when that's close to and considered pre-diabetic? i mean not that things are fine at 99 and bad at 101 but like these are borderline

    good A1c, good insulin levels, handle carbs well, but high fasting sugars...help?

    so yeah, essentially my A1c is 5.2, my insulin levels are 2.5, and my body can handle 50g+ carb meals well...but my fasting numbers run high. i've only tested my fasting numbers 3 times. first time i did, the results were 95. i had eaten a serving of peanut butter, a cup of yogurt, half a...

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    alright well im less worried about a carb splurge now, but i'll still keep it disciplined instead of 6 slices of pizza (which i can easily do) i'll do more like 3-4 slices max or something

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    i do have a slight belly cuz i am skinny fat, but i think im alright eating 120-150g carbs a day as my body after those meals handles it well

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    thing about the insulin levels is they're apparently 2.5, which is normal right? i ask cuz my doctor told me my insulin levels are too low and my pancreas isn't producing enough insulin. this is why he told me to decrease protein and up carbs. i upped my carbs slightly with an upper limit of...

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    now im really confused on what's considered a strong family history... i know i sound of obsessive...and i guess i kinda am, but i can assure you i'm not losing sleep over this or having really bad anxiety about it. only thing i really worry about is carb intake. just kinda think if i eat...

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    just the fact that it runs in my family is enough for me to try and avoid it more so than anybody who doesn't have a family history. kinda sucks tho...makes me scared to eat anything more than 2 slices of pizza at once or more than a serving of oats and pasta. having to eat 56g of pasta just...

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    i'm 5'8, 18, 135-140lbs and eating 2500 calories a day. last year when i just sat around all day and had a terrible sleep schedule i was like 140 and maintaining on roughly 2500. certainly more than any calorie calculator gives me as my maintenance. but yeah, breakfast is a little over 900...

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    i don't mind tracking macros as i basically eat the same thing things everyday so i know how much of what im getting in roughly shoulda included it, but the fiber for the meal is 11g and with a salad it's 13. i also eat around 45-50g fiber a day. dont really know my father and his side of the...

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    so u wouldn't consider the delayed rise and elevation duration a problem? kinda worried about the 4 hour reading cuz that's when i eat my next meal and it's pretty carby. just kinda worried about eating the next meal while my blood sugar is still above baseline and is just on it's way down.

    trying to understand my postprandial pattern and if it’s ok

    Alright, so i’m kind of a health nut. I’m 18, 135lbs (roughly) extensive family history of diabetes, 5.2 A1c, 2.5 insulin, etc etc. just decided for the hell of it today to check my blood sugar after my breakfast. It’s the same thing everyday. 6 eggs, 1 1/2 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt, a...
