    Had to comment, so anyone stumbles on this doesn't get mislead. As has been said many times, for fruit, you have to check for the peak quicker. He should have tested every 20 minutes.

    The whole point of testing the same thing is to see if the result is the same. In this second test the result was the same but the numbers were different. That is, banana and Hershey chocolate bars raise insulin by the same amount, but the amount varies by individual. This test confirmed the previous test.

    The spike is not important, its how fast it drops and by how much.

    If you slept well without waking up and blood sugar was 78 that night and rise to low 100s, you're probably good. I'm not diabetic myself but I could be insulin resistance (to a extent).

    You aren't testing often enough. Blood sugar can vary a lot, even great changes within 20 minutes. I have been very surprised by this phenomena, but if I didn't test with frequency, I would totally miss some of the extremes

    I'm pretty sure I'm insulin resistance to a extent. Although my blood sugar remains normal. Keto diet will solve it. I do have a bad habit of over consuming carbs but I do try to find ways to compensate such as cinnamon supplement and walking (to at least cut down some risks of developing Type 2 Diabetes). I don't think Type 2 Diabetes is chronic as one says. If it's Type 1 Diabetes then that's not reversible. Is for lifetime and insulin will always be needed because it's a autoimmune disease. Type 2 isn't autoimmune and the body does produce insulin. Type 2 Diabetes is where cells are insulin resistance (which can be fixed).

      You are asking for specifics that I am not sure I remember accurately. I can tell you that I am not diabetic, and I work at keeping it that way. I use intermittent fasting. With intermittent fasting, you eat two meals daily, four hours apart. You eat nothing between meals.
      I do intermittent fasting five days a week, Monday thru Friday. My first meal is at noon. I eat out and eat whatever is on the menu, including dessert. If someone is watching their weight and gives me their dessert, I will eat it too.
      I will eat my second and last meal for the day four to six hours later. I will eat just about anything. Mostly fruit and vegetables. I will not eat anything that contains sugar or flour. I avoid boxed or packaged foods.
      I will not eat anything else until noon the next day.

    I commend you for your self investigation. I would encourage you to monitor how sugar levels fall as well. All sugars cause a blood spike, but the way the spike comes down heavily depends of how processed the food is. Highly processed food causes the blood sugar to fall quickly and go into state of hypoglycemia. This has all kinds of negative implications. Good sugars however slowly drop and you don't see a pronounced hypoglycemic effect. See Dr. Greger's video on the matter th-cam.com/video/sHEJE6I-Yl4/w-d-xo.html

    They happens to me lately!
    And I don't know why...my fasting A1c in August last year was 4.0 to 4.5..(.tested everyday while hospitalized) once I was well I decided to loose weight since I was still alive... might as well get prettier !💃 First, I never ate the northamerican diet, but being naturally wide and short I look bigger. Always. So I went to Keto, did a few weeks carnivore but missed salads, so I stayed on Keto and by spring I had no energy, NONE
    I since noticed feeling sick, dizzy, sore, sleepy, absolutely no hunger so I make myself eat once per day, which should be great to loose weight...only after 11 months my weight is down by all of 8 pounds which I think is due to water loss and de-inflamation. My fasting glucose are anywhere from 6.5 to 10 in the morning and it goes down to normal 5.4 to 6.4 after a meal, the next morning is up again...any suggestions? I am not diabetic but fear thus diet is not for me. I should say I starved myself for many many years until my health collapsed years ago and was prescribed many things including a macrobiotic vegetarian diet that totally doubled my weight and never again could loose weight... I think my body is a mess 😱 and dr always says nothing to do, nothing wrong...yet I ended up at death's door last summer with pneumonia and septicemia from an invasive staphylococcus infection. I am very well now as I eat only nutrient rich natural foods but omad mosty... occasional 2 meals ...really not hungry most of the time.

      One thing that works for me is intermittent fasting. I eat my first meal at noon an my last at about six. From 8 at night to noon the next day, I eat nothing. On this plan I can eat anything I want from 12 to 8. At lunch I have desert after my meal. At supper, I eat low carbohydrate so my blood sugar will be reasonable when I go to bed.
      Even with this plan I can gain weight. When my weight goes up about five pounds, I will fast all day Saturday. Depending on my activity, I can lose 3 to 5 pounds. Fasting 36 hours causes me absolutely no problems.

      If you are looking for persimmon tree, I highly recommend a Giombo. Persimmons remain on the tree for six months while ripping. They often get blemishes and off color spots, but the Giombo remains beautiful, and it tastes great. The only problem is that you have to wait until its is watery soft to eat it.
      If you can’t wait until a Giombo gets soft, then buy a Fuyu. You can eat a Fuyu when it is hard or soft. They may have bad spots, but they are absolutely delicious.

    Your liver creates glucose and the process is gluconeogenesis. It does not need you to consume sugar because it makes it from Fat and Protein.
    You certainly do not need to be eatin sugar because there is no Essential Carbohydrate whereas there are essential aminos (Protein) and Fats.
    You ate those sugary foods because you like the feeling and taste. They are only an addiction with no purpose.

    Diabetes isn't like the wind... It doesn't come and go. You still have diabetes... you've just controlled it with dietary choices and probably weight loss. If you have a peanut allergy and you stop eating peanuts all the reactions will go away. That doesn't mean you no longer have a peanut allergy. If you start eating high carb again you will surely have diabetic A1c numbers. I think you know that. Diabetes is the result og the loss of function of beta cells in your pancreas plus insulin resistance in your cells. They're getting close to finding a way to regenerate those cells but there is no cure for diabetes... only a solid treatment... which is a low carb healthy diet and lifestyle. My initial a1c 11 years ago was 11.3 In three months it was 6.7 then down into the 5s...i even had one 4.9 A decade later if I eat high carb my blood sugars go well into the 200s....so "yes"... I still have diabetes... even if my a1c isn't in the diabetic range.

      Not only is your information wrong, but it is also dangerous. It gives people little hope. There is nothing wrong with a type 2 dietetics body, except their body is clogged with sugar. Just like a sink when it gets clogged, it stops working. There is nothing wrong with the sink, it is what’s put in it that is causing the problem. You can run a plumber’s snake down the sink to unclog a sink. When the problem is fixed, it doesn’t mean you will never get another clog.
      Sugar is the substance that clogs your body. If you stop eating so much sugar, your body can fix itself. When your diet is corrected and you are no longer diabetic, it doesn’t mean that you will never clog it again.

      @@johnutube5651, you are incorrect. Type 2 diabetes works the same for everybody. It is caused by eating too many simple carbohydrates.
      If you go to a gas station to fill up your car and you let the gas tank overflow and the gas falls onto the ground, your car has become gasoline resistant. No matter how different the car, boat, or airplane is that you drive, if you let the gas spill over onto the ground, it has become gasoline resistant. Uniqueness is not a factor, too much is the problem.
      Every person with type 2 diabetes can correct their problem by eating less. Fat is the biggest indicator that you are, or are about to become insulin resistant.

    This will be confusing for some people since countries measure in different units. Fasting levels:
    100 mg/dL is milligrams per deciliter. In other countries it is measured in mmol/L (millimoles per litre)
    You can divide mg/dL by 18 to get mmol/L or multiply mmol/L by 18 to get mg/dL.
    Currently a fasting level (8-10 hours without food) of 100 mg/dL or 5.5 mmol/L is considered normal. Anything down to 84 mg/dL whuch is 4.7 mmol/L is considered ok. But if you are achieving the lower end with medications be careful and consult your doctor.
    Now normally 2 hours after a meal you should be at 140 mg/dL which is 7.7 mmol/L or below. The gentleman in the first test in video was at 94 mg/dL which is 5.2 mmol/L and that is clearly very good.
    Bananas spike sugar levels, you do not need to spike sugar levels like that every day. So you Do need to avoid them in some respects.
    Insulin resistance is NOT MEASURED effectively through GLUCOSE monitoring. GLUCOSE remaining in the Blood is measured effectively through GLUCOSE monitoring.
    We ALL have some insulin resistance, some have a lot more than others where it has advanced and is dangerous.
    These are the tests you should have beyond just glucose monitoring -- HOMA-IR and C-Peptide.
