Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Glad you can have bread now, Tommie...but remember: just as you think you have things figured out...something changes. (A diabetic version of " 's law " ). Did you just test once? Really, you should test a couple of times on the same food. Using the same quantities.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 > Your goal, as a type 2, should be no higher than 140 2 hours after > eating, I believe. Anything higher would be considered a " spike " . If my BG is 140 at 2 hours, can I assume it never went to a dangerous level at 1/2 hour or an hour?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 NO in my opinion if your bg is at 140 at 2 hrs pp you can assume that it HAS gone quite a bit higher than that. Anything over 125 has been determined to be the starting point of overt complications so why would one want to aim for over that level? What we really need is a continuous bg monitor to be sure of anything. I wonder if a usable one will happen in my lifetime? cappie Greater Boston Area T-2 10/02 1/05 A1c: 5.4 = 115 mean glu 50-100 carb diet, walking, Metformin ALA/EPO, Coq10, B12, ALC, Vit C Cal/mag, low dose Biotin, full spectrum E, Chromium P, Policosanol, fish oil cap, fresh flax seed, multi vitamin, Lovastatin 20 mg, Enalapril 10 mg 2/05:143 lbs (highest weight 309), 5' tall /age 67, cappie@...
