[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1944061"] Also, your [I]overall control[/I] is affected by the amount of carbs you continue to eat over time, it’s not just meal-to-meal spikes that should be a point of focus. The more glucose you put into your body over any time period, the more it gradually fills up with sugar and lessens insulin sensitivity. This is at least partially responsible for what I call the “elastic effect” that causes your blood glucose concentration to start trending upwards even if the pre or postprandial isn’t initially excessive. It’s why many people are pleasantly surprised by their reasonable reaction to a bar of chocolate, and are then left wondering what’s going wrong a week later after another three bars. This is how you became diabetic over a period of decades - it wasn’t one bowl of sugar puffs that did it. Speaking only from my own personal experience and requisite research. Everyone is somewhere on their own sliding scale of insulin sensitivity :) [/QUOTE]
