My fasting and 2-hr post-prandial are fine, but if I eat a meal of fruit-only I spike to 160 or higher at 45 minutes. I'm back to 100 or so at 2 hours but I read that any time about 140 could be causing damage. The odd thing is that if I eat yogurt or other food with the same amount of fruit I don't reach 120 at any point. Hmm. Anyhow, glad you stopped by--always glad to make new friends.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072293473653277191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192707970601212997.post-8176740831269953862012-02-04T09:16:31.139-08:002012-02-04T09:16:31.139-08:00Ive been a type 2 diabetic since 2004 controlled w...Ive been a type 2 diabetic since 2004 controlled with diet and exercise, I have followed the dash diet since then, I also had hypertension and high cholesterol. Since following the diet and exercising I lost 150 lbs in 1 1/2 years and kept it off. This is a high carb diet and not paleo, I consume whole grains along with fruits and vegetables lean meat & fish and fat free dairy. Being a diabetic for 8 years now, I know how meals affect me and know what symptoms to look out for. I don't eat anything made from white flour, white rice or anything that has large amounts of sugar, I know they will spike my blood sugar. Anything else whether it is fruit eaten alone or as part of a meal does not cause any spikes, I consider spikes for me as 120 or above after 2hrs of starting a meal. I usually eat between 300 to 400 grams of carbs a day, I have never counted carbs and I don't count on a daly basis. Occasionally I go to a website where I enter what I've eaten for the day to give me a general idea of my calorie intake. The one time in the last 8 years I tried to eat something made from white flour (a piece of cake) I felt very fatigued after a couple of hours when I checked my blood sugar level it was 168, usually 2 hrs after a meal my levels are between 85 and 105. By the way, I found your blog from a link on My Carb Sane-Asylum. Even though I don't follow paleo, I am interested in other views on diet and nutrition.ejazz1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16789816947509063644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192707970601212997.post-34995830033184859742012-01-30T18:47:24.168-08:002012-01-30T18:47:24.168-08:00I think one of the best things we're doing in ...I think one of the best things we're doing in our lifestyle is really listening to our bodies and trying to react sensibly to what they tell us. For one thing, it gives us much more room to learn and adapt as we go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072293473653277191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192707970601212997.post-18677343996806113342012-01-30T18:36:18.963-08:002012-01-30T18:36:18.963-08:00Just found your blog, Nance!

If I go over about 25 gm of carbs at a meal, I notice I feel "antsy". <br /><br />Eating some cheese calms me down very quickly!Sondra Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728143440611652047noreply@blogger.com
