After one month at home of even a moderate carb diet I had the same problem.…"
Zoe replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"Brian is right, Siri, we all have different targets. But most of us like to spend the least time high we possibly can. Most of us test around 2 hours as that is the common time for the highest spike, but some people spike a bit earlier. You can find…"
Siri replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"Thanks, Brian. That explains."
Brian (bsc) replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"That is a really good question. I think most people would use it to describe any surge in blood sugar and that it reflects the high point after a meal. And some of the debate here is whether it is ok to surge really high at 1 hour as long as you…"
Siri replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"Is it OK if I ask what post meal blood sugar spikes really is?
I am using a CGM and can easily follow my blood sugar after a meal. Is the goal to never be more than 140 at any time? Or is it OK to reach 180-200 as long as you travel back within one…"

Brian (bsc) replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"Back years ago when I ate oatmeal, I would make a big batch of steel cut (irish) it on weekends. I would cook it with heavy cream and although it took 45 minutes, I could take a scoop out in the morning during the week and reheat it in the microwave."
Zoe replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"That's why you increase by a very small amount, then test after and don't go to sleep within a few hours after your meal! Small changes and then staying with them for awhile is the way to tweak things safely."
nelson replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"To me its scary to increase my mealtime bolus and go to sleep and never wakeup. (Or basal) .Only been using the pump a couple months .lol"
rick phillips replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"Steel cut oatmeal will be better for you, but i it is all liable to pump your blood sugar sky high. I love grape nuts, but I cannot even do a small amount. without pushing my BG to around 400"
nelson replied to reberman's discussion 'post meal blood sugar spikes, how do you avoid them?'"I've been doing my bolus after meals ,ill try 20 min before ."
