[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2340094, member: 451727"] Ah, it all depends on the person, the time of day, the exercise, the stress and on and on, BUT, generally I find if you eat things like chips/pizza they take longer to process because (I think) the fat delays the body from gastric emptying so it does it hours afterwards. So, in 2 hours you may find your glucose levels have gone back to 'normal', ie within the 2mmol target, but 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 (!!!) hours later they may have started to rise again without having eaten anything more. If you eat purer carbs (ie no fat) then it **may** come down after 2 hours but this is SO general that you really do have to test it all yourself. x [/QUOTE]
