[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2158634, member: 507939"] It is good that your doctor had a 2-hour post prandial test done along with fasting glucose. That is a real world result. The standard OGTT has a sample taken fasting, at one hour and another a two hours. If any reading is abnormal, it signifies impaired glucose metabolism. My readings tend to be good at two hours, but frequently are a bit high at one hour. I seem to have a delayed insulin response. As such, I personally test at one hour more often than at two hours. I test multiple times to see how different foods effect me. But then I generally don’t test after those meals once I know the effect it will have on me. My point was simply to say that one should check to see if one spikes and not just rely one fasting or two hour readings - if you really want to know how your body is reacting to different types of foods. Everyone is different. Many say that they can’t eat any bread. I can eat a whole grain and seed bread and see only a mild rise in glucose, but if I eat a big white bread hamburger bun my blood sugar temporarily spikes too high. I don’t eat hamburger sandwiches anymore, not that I at many in the past, but knowing the effect white bread has on me, I simply avoid it in any form. I still eat real whole grain bread in moderation. I have more or less learned what I can eat to always keep my blood sugar below 120 mg/dL at peak. I haven’t carried a meter to test after eating out. I would like to wear an CGM for a while to get a better idea of how my BG levels change throughout the day. Getting a prescription for one isn’t easy. [/QUOTE]
