Your numbers are fantastic, Patrick. And that one hour number of 120 supports what I've read that in a "normal" person, the postprandial number would never exceed 120 - 140 no matter what is eaten. That's why my 181 number bothers me. And of course the crash an hour later is a definite indication of a problem.

Here's something I discovered about my FBG number. Before I went low carb, my fasting number first thing in the morning was consistently in the low 80s. After I went low carb, it was consistently in the high 80s/low 90s. I was completely perplexed until I read something somewhere (great source) that once your body adjusts to a low carb diet, it is no longer is "panic-stricken" about keeping your blood glucose as low as possible in preparation for a carb onslaught. It will allow your FBG to drift higher because it knows it won't have to work as hard when mealtime comes. Kind of makes sense.

I personally wouldn't worry at all about your 90 number.
