Hi. My Aic on 2 occasions were borderline and normal. My fasting blood sugar is ALMOST always normal. But my post prandial numbers are high. I have been experimenting my food and monitoring my blood sugar at home but it seems that my sugar goes up with every food I eat. I stopped eating rice and bread. Being a rice and bread eater, this is really difficult but I don't mind doing it. I am eating sweet potato as my substitute.

One time, with the same breakfast and quantity, my BS went down to 65 two hours after. I didn't know the first time i experienced it that the strange weird feelings were symptoms of low BS.

Last Monday, my neighbor took me to a new Vietnamese restaurant and I ate a small bowl of chicken noodle soup. After 1 hour, my BS went up to 197 (the highest recorded number, so far). On the 2nd our, it went down to 132 then 84 on the 3rd. I was surprised because it came back to normal on the 3rd hour. Normally, it takes so long before it comes back to normal range.

My endocrinologist does not seem to take me seriously because of my normal Aic.

My questions are:

1. does the blood sugar of a healthy person goes up to 197 after a heavy carb meal?
2. How long does the blood sugar of a healthy go back to normal range?
3. For case like mine, how often should I take the Aic test?

Is there anything I should do to prevent my condition to get worse? I exercise almost everyday. My parents were not diabetic, no uncles and aunties from both sides who were diabetic, except my sister who has been recently diagnosed to be pre diabetic.

Will appreciate comments.

Mary
