[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2158037, member: 507939"] Hi Muster, I think you mean you test glucose (rather than insulin) at 2 hr after eating. My experience is that when eating carbs with little fat that the highest reading comes between 30 min and 1 hour. When eating a fatty meal the highest reading is usually lower but doesn’t come down as quickly and the reading at 2hrs can be a bit higher than at 1 hour. I have tested a food like 2 cups of sweet potatoes. About 54 quickly digested carbs. I will see a blood sugar of about 150 at 1 hour and 105 at two hours. If I eat it with butter, the high will be around 135 and at two hours it will be about 115. If I only tested at 2hours, I wouldn’t know that I spiked over 140. I would think everything was just fine. I try to stay under 120 at peak, so 2 cups of sweet potatoes is too much. I can eat 1/2 a cup without much effect. [/QUOTE]
