[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 2085038, member: 301751"] No, it is a truly normal respons to food with high GI for non diabetics. I think healthy people with normal blood sugar should stop making an illness out of it, and rather be thankful for having a pancreas and body that manage to keep blood sugar within normal range. To be honest I think it a little bit offending ovenfor diabetics that really struggles with their blood sugar to complain about blood sugar less than 11.2, and act like it makes them sick. An OGTT with 75g carbs have these markers: Non diabetic 4.0 - 7.7 mmol after 2 hours. Pre-diabetic are 7.8 - 11.1 mmol after 2 hours. Diabetic is 11.2 or greater after 2 hours. All these values are after 2 hours, so non diabetics can still reach 11 mmol after 15-30 min when the blood sugar are at its highest. So well, it is a myth, and wrong that non diabetics always has blood sugar under 7.8 mmol at all times. I have many friends that have tried to measure their blood sugar 15-30 min after eating, and well I’ve seen many of them reaching almost 11, and they are not diabetics. The difference are that the blood sugar either continue to raise, or use longer time before falling in diabetics. Having a random reading of 10 mmol does not mean anyting. If your blood sugar are either less than 7.8 after 2 hour, or you never had several reading above 11.2 mmol you are completely healthy and not diabetic. [/QUOTE]
