Yes I remember that, I tested it on my hubby at the time and he always seemed to be there or lower no matter what he ate - but I remember him having a big dominoes pizza and he hit 11.2 at 1 hour but was back down at 5 something at 2hrs & 3 &4hrs. This is when I stopped testing at 1 hour because to me it’s normal to go high at that point for anyone and it’s not a spike but a normal reaction to food, 2hrs onwards is what matters (to me anyway)Thanks for the replies. I googled Jenny Rhul's blog, @lovinglife, and I was quite surprised that she said that most normal people are under 5.5 mmol/L two hours after eating, independent of what they eat.
I'm quite jealous of your hubby and people like him, with good blood glucose control. Those spikes were what concerned me when I first wore a CGM, so I ignore the early ones and take note of the later readings. I'll risk a Domino's (I used to prefer a Papa John's) pizza when I've lost more weight, to see if that makes me any more "normal".Yes I remember that, I tested it on my hubby at the time and he always seemed to be there or lower no matter what he ate - but I remember him having a big dominoes pizza and he hit 11.2 at 1 hour but was back down at 5 something at 2hrs & 3 &4hrs.

Even though it's only a couple of numbers, there is a trend down.When I was testing I used the 2 hour mark, and first I got help to see how to keep my levels under 8mmol/l at that point, and once I was settled eating the same meals I saw the number sinking down little by little to under 7 or even less by the time I stopped testing.
I assume that by lifting the load, my metabolism recovered, and the numbers showed that happening.
