[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2095724, member: 507939"] When you say you go high after eating pizza, how high is high and for how long? How high was the GTT result? Pre-diabetic or full-on diabetic? My HbA1c was 5.0 but I had a fasting glucose just into the pre-diabetic range. I definitely have some problems with glucose regulation. After fasting test lab test, I started testing myself. To my surprise I saw spikes up to 10.0 with a lot of certain carbs. The spike usually come down relatively quickly into a normal range by two hours and with some exercise down around 4.0. I nevertheless decided to cut out or greatly reduce the portion size of those carbs. Eating low carb has brought my self-tested fasting down from about 5.6 to 4.5 in about two months. I don’t know yet if it has helped any with improving glucose tolerance. [/QUOTE]
