Regardless of that, it is WAY too high for a non-diabetic like icelander.
Below is what I've consistently read to be postprandial numbers for a person without issues.
http://clinical.diabetesjournals.org...t/20/2/71.full
"In healthy, nondiabetic subjects, 2-h postprandial blood glucose levels are usually <120 and rarely >140 mg/dl. Glucose levels peak at ∼1 h after the start of the meal and then return to preprandial levels within 2–3 h."
If I eat a high carb meal, I spike into the 170s/180s, and it will take me 4 - 6 hours to return to preprandial levels. This is how I know without a doubt that I have a problem with glucose metabolism. Well that, and the fact that my Oral Glucose Tolerance Test showed reactive hypoglycemia.

See this is what I think I've been doing to myself all these years. Spiking over and over and over because of binge eating junk. My insulin still works however and that's why eating like a normal human has brought my glucose into the healthy range. So I might not be pre or diabetic but still have caused my neuropathy with the spiking for all those years. Does that sound like a possible?
