Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lobsang Tsultim" data-source="post: 2595534" data-attributes="member: 554942">Our blood sugars naturally go up after we eat, more so if we eat a meal with a lot of carbs. The problem for typical type 2s is that we don't handle those raised levels well due to insulin resistance. For a non-diabetic without insulin resistance, it's not a particular problem (unless their diet is always very high in carbs because that will likely lead to insulin resistance in the future).  Your graph looks like a normal non-diabetic response to high-carb meals, but I'm no expert, so take that opinion with a pinch of salt.I've heard it's quite common for the response to pizza to be longer than the typical 2 hours due to the fat from the cheese delaying the digestion of the carbs.  Your HbA1c result shows that, on average, your blood sugars are not raised to dangerous levels and that your body is okay dealing with carbs.If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be worried, but I might think about cutting down the carbs a bit - at least not having high-carb food for every meal.</blockquote>
