[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1419984, member: 41816"] I think the guidelines of testing at 90 mins or 2 hours are for consistency - so you can compare foods and meals. From my own testing, high carb low fat foods spike hard and fast, while protein and fat and fibre will slow things down and reduce the peak. It all comes down to that, and our personal digestive and insulin responses. so yes, most people spike higher in the first hour then drop. It is perfectly normal , although if the spike is too high, or lasts too long, then the carbs could be adjusted. I aim for a rise of no more than 2mmol/l at 2 hours and agree with everything that [USER=93504]@sally and james[/USER] said. [/QUOTE]
