Default Detecting hidden glucose issues

I finally found a link I'd been looking for, and wanted to post it here for anyone who is going to go down the path of checking for blood sugar issues.

For those who don't know me, I pass all normal diabetic screening tests with flying colors, but below is what further investigation on my part showed.

After a very high carb meal of pasta and bread, this is what my blood sugar did:

Pre-meal: 85
30 minutes post-meal: 166
1 hour post-meal: 162 (under 140 deemed normal)
2 hours post-meal: 166 (under 120 deemed normal)
3 hours post-meal: 148
4 hours post-meal: 128
6 hours post-meal: 82

It took me over 4 hours to return to what would be considered normal post meal blood sugar levels when I should have been there in two hours.

This link tells you how to test with a glucose meter and interpret the results:

This link shows what normal blood sugar levels should be. I've read as high as 188.
