Message: <blockquote data-quote="AshwinShah46" data-source="post: 2720652" data-attributes="member: 545008">Most of the diabetic 2 literature that I have read mention measuring BS before meal and 2 hours after meal. If it is within 2mmol/L of your starting BS reading that meal is supposed to be okay for you. There is very little literature about high your BS should be allowed to go up between those two readings. Also there is another issue which has never been explained properly. There is general knowledge that if you eat fibre before carbs your BS does not spike as much, but from the graphs I have seen on social media the BS stays elevated for much longer period.So is it better to get a high spike and come down quickly (within 2 hours) or not have that high a spike but have your BS elevated at slightly lower level but for a much longer period (say 4 hours).I wish there was some reliable information about both these issues which we could all read.</blockquote>
