[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2428518, member: 41885"] A recent new development for me is that my post meal high is not coming down for 4 or 5 hours. For example: I go from 6 to around 8 at the two hour mark, so the amount of carbs I am eating is fine. But I have also been testing 3 hours after eating, and 4 hours after eating, and its still 8. It takes about 5 hours to go back to 6 again. This is happening after each meal, no matter whether its green veg and protein, or cheese, or a salad. Its only a rise of 2 points, but it stays there for ages. I found this out after doing my usual monthly 3 day intensive testing thingy of testing, to check all is still well. Any ideas of how to get the blood sugar levels down quicker again? A quick answer to unhelpful ideas, so they wont get suggested: my carb intake is fine, lowering it doesnt help, the gap between pre and post meal is 2 or less. No, I am not going to fast or do OMAD as that makes me ill. Yes, I have several health issues i have to take into consideration. No, my other health issues havent changed. No, I havent changed my way of eating or the timings. No, I am not on any additional or different medications. I simply want to know if anyone else has a slow blood sugar reduction, if anyone knows why. [/QUOTE]
