[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1797357, member: 221545"] Hi. These figures one their own tell us very little that would allow for a simple answer. Personally, I find that my own system takes up to three hours to come back down rather than the much quoted two hours. We are all variations on a theme with this (just like we are in life) so little is exact in a general sense. Also, how your blood sugar does over a couple of weeks of readings at these kinds of times will tell you a lot more than this pre and post meal. I would strongly suggest you also keep a a note of what you are eating; that with the readings will help you see any correlation between your diet and your blood sugar levels. In my opinion (and that's all it is), you may well be eating an amount of carbohydrates that is "too high" for your blood sugar to settle more quickly. Cutting down on carbs will bring your levels down if that is the case. The single most important thing I have learned while getting in control of my blood sugar is realising the simple fact that carbohydrates effectively become sugar in the blood. What are you eating ?
