Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 543160" data-source="post: 2509567">I work on the basis that <a href="https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html" target="_blank">these recommendations</a> are essentially an acceptable target range for pre and post meal figures and are NOT  absolute requirements  to have or ever aim for higher post meal levels.  So it does not necessarily follow that you will or even ought to see a 2 hour post meal rise. We should actually be aiming  to be back (or as close  as possible) to normal at 2 hours post meal as already stated, any spikes or  bumps will (usually) be earlier and have at least started to come down at the 2 hour mark.As T2s we can no longer handle carbohydrates very well, so the better we can manage  by restricting their consumption  the less likely we are to see  any higher post meal figures.  We may not ever be able to cure T2, but by carefully limiting carbs, we can at least control it and minimise any potentially harmful impact longer term higher glucose levels can have. Keeping pre and post meal levels as stable as possible is IMO one obvious solution.</blockquote>
