[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2509456, member: 548675"] No I definitely don’t think there’s ANY reason to be concerned about that. And eating more, or eating more carbs, is absolutely not what you should take from this: you WANT your blood sugar lower! And remember you’re NOT supposed to have a spike 2 hours after eating, you’re supposed to be back to normal by then or close to it. It you were still spiked at two hours, that would mean the meal had too many carbs in it. Various possibilities: you have an excellent insulin response and insulin sensitivity. Your pre-meal test was inaccurate. Your post meal test was inaccurate (less likely as you tested twice). You missed the spike (probably the most likely IMO. Something like cereal and sultanas would spike me pretty fast (within 30-45 minutes). But I would probably be back to baseline by two hours, as you were. You probably ended up a bit lower than you started because that high carb meal provoked a significant insulin response. I often end up lower than I started if I have a lot of carbs. It wouldn’t be the metformin- metformin doesn’t work that way. [/QUOTE]
