[QUOTE="Roggg, post: 2222344, member: 489176"] I'm not expert but here's my understanding. The "no more than 2" rise criteria is about how your body responds to the food intake. A rise of more than 2 means your body is not dealing with the incoming macros quickly enough and that's not good, so the glucose lingers in your blood for far too long. Completely separately a rise form 6.5 to 8.5 is within the "+2 limit" so you could argue it's okay. I would argue it's not okay, but I would suggest that the 6.5 is the real problem, not the +2. To me being 6.5 before eating suggests insulin resistance. I have no idea if the height of the spike is concerning or relevant. I would assume that non-diabetics can have very high spikes depending on what they eat, so I personally would be careful about giving too much significant to what happens in that 2 hour span. There's a reason they recommend a 2 hour reading. But this is hypothetical. In reality what your goals ought to be will depend on whether you are insulin sensitive or insulin resistant. [/QUOTE]
