[QUOTE="CrumblingWall, post: 2085394, member: 494805"] I do not want to trash on that website, but I honestly heard doctors mention it is bunk. The studies cited their are highly contested. However, that website is playing on safe side - it has high standards for normal glucose levels and I think is very right. My own doctor mentioned that non-diabetics don't really spike above 8.5 mmol/l even after lots of cake. But then, CGMs studies are sparse on non-diabetics. We do not know what is really normal. So many people have metabolic syndrome and glucose variability is very large. They could be moved to a normal bracket when in reality they suffer from a beginning disease. It is all very complicated .... Motivated people, or obsessed like me, educated themselves on current research. It looks like it really depends on people standards. Do you agree with people like Bernstein, or do you think a1c of 5.7% is ok? Or are you more strict and go for high 4s? Decisions you make right now could influence your health in your 40s. People live normal lives and then, bam, diabetes out of nowhere. But foundations have been laid for decades for that to happen. You did not wake up with significant beta cells damage one day. It was a slow process. [URL]https://kresserinstitute.com/normal-blood-sugar-isnt-normal-part-2/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
