I am non diabetic and currently going through a few medical issues ranging from Barrett's Oesophagus to chronic fatigue although they don't from what the specialists can tell, seem to be related. These issues have been on going for near on 15 years but only recently actually got a diagnosis. Anyway, many times over the years I have had my blood glucose tested and it always comes back with perfectly normal. I used to test myself in the past with a blood glucose meter to try and catch an odd pattern. Nothing every shows - which is good.
I recently found my test meter and thought I would try it again for a few days. My pre-eating readings are pretty consistent at 4.7-4.8 but one thing stood out to me. I don't seem to get much movement with food with starchy carbs in but do with treat foods.
Obviously I understand glucose will get into the bloodstream quicker etc but would you still not see a spike with starchy carbs.
Can you be more insulin sensitive to different foods?
If you don't each said treat items and maintain levels under 5 all day could this explain chronic fatigue like symptoms even though it is in the "normal" range.
Thanks in advance.
