My diet is fastidiously low carb.It's some time since I measured my actual rise after eating but last year a typical meal would elevate my BS level by about 1.5 points. For me, though, low carb gives a very fast return to pre-meal levels so I'm back where I started within about 60 to 90 minutes, which nowadays is mostly in the low 4's. This probably means my spikes usually stay below 7mmol/L.This is what I can achieve so this is what I now regard as my acceptable limit. I consider myself very fortunate that my body has responded so well to weight loss and the low carb diet. I know there are many others who have to fight very hard for BS control.</blockquote>
