[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2330380, member: 517232"] It's an evolving science & we're the generation that's pretty much the guinea pigs. The only solid data they had on the non-diabetic population pre cgm's has come from the OGTT. Which saw the average person start around 5 mmol/L go up to 7 or 8 then back down to 5 at the 2 hour matk. It never considered the real world dynamic of eating where you could graze over a starter, main course, desert & beer over 90 mins. The complexity of protein, fats, carbs, alcohol all ariving in different quantities over an extended time frame was impossible to standardise against a general population. Much easier to rely on the data from 75g pure glucose chugged back in under 3 mins. I'm afraid you have been the victim of the old fashioned data they have to hand, FBG, Hba1c & random. Your random shouldn't have even raised an eyebrow but they don't know any better. [/QUOTE]
