What type of numbers do non-diabetics see two hours post-prandial? I’m curious if the numbers I’m seeing are “well-managed diabetic” numbers, or if I’m doing well enough that I’m normoglycemic.
My fasting numbers are in the 85-90 range.
Two-hour post-prandials are anywhere from 90 to 115.
My last A1C was 5.9, but that was almost a year ago shame and need to have it redone.
Here is a nice webpage explaining it… According to them it should be less than 140. Fasting - normal less than 100. Normal A1C below 6.0. So you’re on the dot…
I don’t think those are normal non-diabetic numbers. I think they’re good numbers for a diabetic. I’m trying to figure out what normoglycemic (non-diabetic) numbers are. But thanks for the info. 
Normal is a difficult thing to determine but estimates I’ve seen are that at 2 hours most normal people will be between 70 and 100 and fasting between 60 and 90. It’s possible for non diabetics to spike as high as 140 but I believe the study that showed that used a high dose of IV glucose and the spike was within 30 minutes and came down very quickly. A1c of a non-diabetic would be in the 4s and low 5s but there are other things that play into an A1c other than blood sugar so it can be a bit deceiving.
I wouldn’t say your numbers are well managed because they are better than that, probably extremely controlled would be better since they really are not far off the general concept of normal.
Thanks Duncan, I really can’t take a lot of credit for it, I’m just thankful that my pancreas is functioning so well. I have put it through a lot of hell with bingeing in my life. I’m working on that though.
Your numbers are at least very close to what non-diabetics may see. Here, check out this page from Blood Sugar 101, which reports results of studies on how non-diabetics respond to carb loading, in terms of BG, insulin response, etc. From that, you’re not quite always hitting the average non-diabetic numbers, but you’re within a couple of standard deviations of it. I think I’d at least call that excellent, better than “well-managed” control. Good job!
Here is another way to consider the normal blood glucose during an OGTT:
fasting <95
after one hour <180
after two hours <155
after three hours <140
sounds like your numbers are solid; it’s important to note the ADA criteria are not as aggressive as some think it should be
I think normal fasting is in the 60-80 range and 2 hours after usually in the 120 range. Even after a pig out meal a non diabetic won’t go over 140. If I eat 1 slice of bread I’ll go to 200
