It may sound silly, but I didn’t know.
If a cookie sends BG to 200, was it a response to the presence of sugar OR the presence of the volume of sugar?
I’m grateful for the answers here.
I don’t know if I’ll try again.
1 hour PP 180
90 min PP 160
6 hours later?
I woke up overheated (it’s not warm here) and tested
205.
Holy “@@&)
Hi
@Ponchu
Sorry, your question seems to have got missed when the thread got derailed.
In answer, I will say two apparently contradictory things:
Firstly, your response to that carb intake may well be different from anyone elses.
Secondly, the larger the carb portion, the higher a blood glucose rise you will get.
So yes, 4 times the carb intake will almost certainly result in a longer, higher spike than the smaller portion would.
But if you have a particular sensitivity to a certain food, that will also affect your readings.
For instance, I get absurdly high bgs from any gluten containing carbs, whereas the same amount of carbohydrate, in the form of potato or even sugar, gives me a lesser rise. I now put this down to a food intolerance, but until I realised it, I was very confused by the results. They seemed so out-of-proportion.
If you want to test what is going on for you, then I would suggest you try eating a single slice of Eikhorn bread and test the reaction. Then the next day, 2 slices, and 3 the third - but the circumstances would need to be similar (e.g. by itself with a set amount of butter), so you could do a proper comparison. Then repeat the same experiment with another carb source, and the same size portions.
Seems like a lot of hassle, I know, but it would give you the answers you are looking for.
