The chart displayed doesn't show a 100 mg/dl rise. You really need to read the text that was provided with the chart. The beginning of that text is here:

"Normal blood sugars after a high carbohydrate breakfast eaten at 7:30 AM. The blue line is the average for the group. The brown lines show the range within which most readings fell (2 standard deviations). Bottom lines show Insulin and C-peptide levels at the same time.Graph is a screen shot from Dr. Christiansen's presentation cited below."

The link to the page from BloodSugar101 is here (if the link doesn't work, copy and paste it into your browser):

I am somewhat confused that you are here advocating that diabetics shoot for lower numbers than non-diabetics. 115 is not too high for a non-diabetic after a big meal.

I am still wondering if you are on meds, T1 or T2, and what exactly is it that you eat, which doesn't ever raise your BG over 115, and apparently, usually a lot less.

Please share the details. Inquiring minds want to know :-)

Thanks,

John

I am sorry that I cannot reply to some posts. The REPLY option is not showing on most of them, so I have to fake it.....

"Blood sugar 101 has a great chart showing normal blood sugar reactions to meals and a 100 mg/dl rise is actually "normal.""

And I said no it doesn't. I read the chart, and no where does it indicate that a 100 mg spike is normal for a non diabetic. I didn't say it, I was refuting the claim.

Happy Thanksgiving!

John
