About 1.5 hour later, BS had only risen to 6.1.  But by 2.5 hours later was at 8.3, and 3.5 hours later was at 9.0, then slowly started dropping....Just really looking for any comments on the range of BS that happened, if it "makes sense" etc.  I keep reading on the site here that after 2 hours it should have dropped back down, but also read fat can delay etc etc.Perhaps the whole BS testing was of no real value and should only test with LFHC type experiments etc.</blockquote>
