i am type 2 diebetic. when i eat simple carbs my sugar spike (140-160) will happen after one hour instead of a normal test range of two hours. after two hours my glucose level is back to normal (80-110).
i have been testing my levels after two hours. my results would be normal when in fact it actually would spike after one hour. i thought i was doing well when in actual i was not.
why is this happening?
you might have a fast stomach- some foods that slow the food down are soluble fiber, spices, and fat
