Blood sugar & eating
-
So i check my BG before eating each meal,
how should one interpret & as a result respond accordingly to a high or low blood glucose level prior to a meal (e.g. if you have a high bg before a meal would u delay the meal by 15-30 mins or eat less carbs that meal, on the opposite if its low, eat more carbs????)
& what would one class as high BG (personally anything above 5.0 mmol/L 30 mins after waking is starting to get high for my liking (i preferably want it below 4.8 but this is me being a perfectionist), & before a meal, i ideally want it below 5.6 before eating my next meal (meals are normally 3-4 hours apart & if BG is high normally push my meal back by 15 mins or eat less carbs that meal whilst my body is still processing the carbs from my last meal)
also what are the optimal ranges for fasting n post eating BG ( e.g. 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hrs, & right before ur next meal, as well as after n overnight fast)

@nomaanali212 This is a long explanation that I feel if I explained it, I would be spending a lot of time on it. Because it is long because it needs to be thorough, I find it to be too complicated for anyone to even give it a try.
Since I already explained it in detail already before, it's better if you go to RPF and search using my name and keyword "oral glucose tolerance test" to get the answers to the questions.
I have graphs as well there showing how improved my blood sugar control and how one could use the graphs to help figure out where the problem lies in their blood sugar control, as identification of the cause is vital to solving problems in blood regulation.
Sorry if I won't do it again here as honestly, no one there really came back to me about using the method I outlined and I have better things to do than be disappointed no one would try it. But this is a method used successfully by naturopath's and I further refined it and I successfully improved my sugar metabolism and transformed myself from very sickly into being free of many common issues.

@yerrag why not copy paste your stuff here? It may get more views/responses

@ora I'm testing responses here and so far I've made two posts in response to the subject of blood sugar and got no responses. I'm not sure whether my answers were too difficult to understand or despite my putting it in clear explanations, it was still too hard to understand.
my answers are not the typical banal answers and requires some bit of contrarian mindset to overcome the inertia of going with the false but seemingly logical and intuitive way we tend to think, in the same way that sometimes we need a coach to show us a counterintuitive way to do things to overcome a wall in our development as in kayakers learning to do a combat roll, a dancer trying to pirouette without getting dizzy and in driving thru a curve without needing to slow down as much.
But the lack of response shows me that people generally have lost interest in pursuing the subject which led them to post a question and instantly gave up at even asking a follow-up question showing a lack of going thru a process of their mind processing and trying to understand, as needed to overcome their present state of relative ignorance and to heal themselves. It betrays a lack of understanding that making quality products and robust health is not about taking magic bullets and instant panaceas, something the medical system has molded our minds into thinking, but to have a willingness to learn how to start with a good foundation of knowledge, and a willingness or patience of a turtle (as opposed to the speed of harebrained hare) a turtle to let the right process of steps take hold in the same way fine wine matures or strong masonry cures and sets.
That attitude is needed for anyone wanting to turn themselves from the seemingly hopeless state of being a low energy, very unstable and sickly individual that spends most of his life unable to do much because he is recovering always from something or has many allergies and resigns himself to blaming his condition as genetic or some kind of blessing like a stigmata.
Into being highly energetic and immune to the various insults thrown by nature or by man.
I hope that by referring to my post in RPF, I give the person a good reference in the same way most works are referenced if more detail is needed. Ray does that in his newsletters. It's good because he makes the reader do some extra research work, and the reader will do that research because he values that extra work enough to do the extra leg work. I think also it's not a good idea to write and share all I know in one sitting.
I would follow Ray's style and leave it hanging. That is an invitation to the reader to follow up with a question. This way, I know that guy is reading and wanting to know more. It's like when you shout and no one responds, do you know if anyone heard you?
