Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Also I have a device to test blood sugar levels I used to test cetokines. I'll try it just after a pasta party

That's the million dollar question. A lot of researchers believe the Am. Diabetes Assoc. ranges are not good. What you have to do to really test it well is eat or drink pure carbs...no fat and no protein. If you test at the 2 hour mark after your last bite, here's what the ADA says:
Normal: less than 140 mg/dl Prediabetes: 140 mg/dl to 199 mg/dl Diabetes: 200 mg/dl or higher Many researchers believe if your glucose spikes above 140 at any point in time after eating carbs, you have a problem. Others say normal people would never go about 120. Here's an article you might want to read. Why Your “Normal” Blood Sugar Isn’t Normal (Part 2) | Chris Kresser All I know is my glucose spiking to the 300 range is not good. That's what happened when I ate a bunch of pretzels on an empty stomach. |

Two hours AFTER eating, yes. But they say nothing about spiking levels prior to that.

I've just done the test, two hours after have eating 400g of chickpeas.
The result is 144 mg/dl. Does it mean I'm prediabetic or I have a glucose problem? Should do I repeat the test tomorrow? or test it just after waking up? Thanks for your help. Regards. |

A home meter is not accurate enough to diagnose yourself.
you should not try to diagnose yourself anyway go to the doctor/hospital and do a glucose tolerance test. Let the doctor make the diagnosis. |

You should consider getting an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test from a doctor.
Home testing isn't going to diagnose you with anything, it's just going to give you an idea how your body responds to different carbs. Chickpeas are not a good food to test with as they're full of fiber, which also slows down the digestion of the carbs. |

I don't know about carbs, and I haven't noticed quick, serious changes in my symptoms with changes in diet. However, I have noticed that as soon as I back off of my B vitamin supplements regimen, things get worse quickly.
Sorry not to be of more help. |
