Do you know what the actual number was?I had my diabetes blood test and it came back within normal range
That would be a normal response to pancakes I would think.I had my diabetes blood test and it came back within normal range but I am still feeling strange symptoms when I eat certain foods so I have continued to monitor my blood sugar levels. Today my fasting blood glucose level upon waking was 6.5. I ate two very small pancakes with a little bit of butter and 1hour later my glucose level is 10.4! This doesn’t seem right to me?!? I’m extremely worried about this and it’s causing me to have issues with eating anything and everything. Can anyone help?
Your blood glucose will stay in ‘normal range’ as long as you don’t eat carb heavy food, so that, unfortunately means you have reacted to the pancakes you had for breakfast. For instance avoid rice, pasta, potatoes, oats, anything with flour and sugar in it as this will definitely take you into diabetic range. Research low carb eating/foods and this will keep you on the straight and narrow. Also might be a good idea to test your BG before eating then 2 hours after, that way you’ll get to know what food spikes you glucose level.
Everyone's blood glucose rises when they eat carbs - diabetic and non-diabetic. It's perfectly normal. The difference is in how efficiently the body deals with the resulting glucose (once the carbs are digested) . Typically those of us with T2 will see higher levels for much longer compared to someone like you who isn't insulin resistant.But surely if I’m not diabetic as my blood test revealed I shouldn’t be having these spikes? That’s why I’m wondering if the blood test was wrong? Should I be asking my doctor to repeat it?
But you are diabetic - just controlling it so you are in remission.But surely if I’m not diabetic as my blood test revealed I shouldn’t be having these spikes? That’s why I’m wondering if the blood test was wrong? Should I be asking my doctor to repeat it?
I would request a chat with your doctor or diabetic nurse (all practi should have one) about the results you are getting, he/she will be able to explain full what is happening for you.But surely if I’m not diabetic as my blood test revealed I shouldn’t be having these spikes?

if you eat carbs and sugars, spikes are the norm for everyone!I would request a chat with your doctor or diabetic nurse (all practi should have one) about the results you are getting, he/she will be able to explain full what is happening for you.
Have I missed soemthing? Why do you say the OP is diabetic?But you are diabetic - just controlling it so you are in remission.
I am in the same situation, I just do not eat pancakes because, as a plain ordinary type 2 diabetic I can't cope with the carbs.
I make cheese waffles, aka 'chaffles' from time to time, as they are almost carb free.
Oh - I read it as there being previous Hba1c tests with higher numbers which have now come down to the normal range. I have perhaps firmly grasped the wrong end of the stick...Have I missed soemthing? Why do you say the OP is diabetic?
