As people age their insulin response can become strange and blunted and be different from when they were younger.

Thank you so (very) much Mrs.D.
I know now that taking Aic every 3-4 months is not recommended. I think I will ask doctor at least 6 months. I remember your post before that as we aged, our insulin becomes strange but I never thought of the 2-hour mark as the "cut-off". Mine would SOMETIMES go back to normal on the 2nd hour but SOMETIMES not. It depends on the food I eat.
I will stay at home the whole day for the next 2 days to monitor my BS every hour. I have been monitoring it at least 3-4 times but I could not really see the 2-hour mark number because I do it by random.
I will let you know the result of my exercise.
Again, thanks
Mary
