[QUOTE="drakman, post: 1217187, member: 90386"] I think you can rely on your HbA1C figures as they are based on how protein stores and uses sugar, your meter measures free floating sugar which is a bit different, also it does vary a lot over quite short periods of time, this is due to how you use the sugar as fuel, also it depends on how you dgest food, which varies with different food. Fatty foods like chocolate are also high sugar and cause pretty wild spikes as some of the sugar is bound to fat which is broken down much slower than the unbound sugar but releases quite suddenlycausing big spikes. slow release such as whole fruit of cereal are much better as they are slow continuous release sugars, this is why you get the variations even between the time to test with 2 different meters [/QUOTE]
