[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2056867, member: 401801"] First off, breathe. Anyone here would be over the moon with such numbers, as they are firmly, and [I]absolutely, non-diabetic[/I]. T2's can't process carbs properly. Practically all carbs turn to glucose once ingested, so even a small burger, meaning, the[I] bread[/I] and possibly sugar-laden [I]condiments[/I], would make your bloodsugars go up. For me, I'd hit double digits: the last time I ate bread I got 18-point-somethingorother. So, two things: First, it's not the size of the meal, but the amount of carbs in it that affect bloodsugars. Second, if you were diabetic, you'd be seeing much higher numbers due to the bun. I know, I know, it's against forum rules to diagnose anyone, but there's nothing to diagnose. You have a beautiful insulin response, and a perfect HbA1c. It took me three years of eating low carb to get a HbA1c of 33. You haven't had to change a thing to get stunning numbers. Since you mention weight problems, and having another condition, well... I have several, and was morbidly obese when I started the low carb journey... It is a way to lose weight, should you choose it, and some conditions are helped by low carbing, because carbs tend to cause inflammations. My rheumatism is a lot better, as is my cholesterol etc. I don't know what your issues are, all in all, but you could always have a look around over at dietdoctor.com, or read dr. Jason Fung's The Obesity Code. Some ailments are made worse because of our inflammatory western diet, some are made worse when you have extra weight to haul around. (Joints and backs don't like it much, after all.). I do understand your anxiety, as every time I see a doc I get a new diagnosis to add to my rather long laundry-list, but for the moment... This is one thing you don't have to worry about. Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
