[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1299513, member: 88961"] Geordie - Rice can be a sneaky substance. Certainly some folks report multiple peaks, over several hours, and depending what else was in the sushi it isn't inconceivable to consider you could actually have been rising at 2 hours. My tactic, when I do any such Scientific research (Ahem), is to test more regularly - probably half hourly for at least 3 hours (longer if I'm not back to starting number at 3 hours), to try to get a clearer picture. To be honest, in recent times, I have been spoilt by part-time using Libre sensors which proved a 24/7 trace, for two weeks with scores every 15 minutes plus any any scans (of the reader) or fingerprick tests the I might do. Using those has given me massive confidence that I understand what gives these days with my glucose metabolism. On the basis of cost and how my body generally performs, I can't justify using the Libre full-time, but a sensor once in a while is invaluable. In your shoes, I could be tempted to repeat the experiment and test a bit more. I know it's probably a pain (pardon the pun) to do the more intensive testing, especially if you are in company, but it'll give you a clearer picture. To be honest an OGTT is completely up to you, but personally I'd want to be very clear about what I wanted to achieve from it and be sure that would be achievable, bearing in mind you do need to prepare for it by carbing up, so that your body isn't shocked by the intake to such simple glucose. I doubt the shock would be medically worrying, but it can skew results because your body might not perform so well, if it's not used to so many carbs in one hit. If you want to get a bit of context on that, you could read upon "the last meal effect". [/QUOTE]
