These are norms but if you test a non diabetic you will find that these numbers
are on the high side. This subject has come up here before and most people who
have tested anyone find they seldom spike so much even after eating like a pig.
After hearing this I tested some of my family and they were right. My husband
ate a very carby meal and topped out at 112. I think thats one of the big
differences, their bodies regulate much better so their BG stay more even
without the vast swings we get. He operates within a variable of about 20 to 25
points while I can swing from 60 to over 200 if I am not careful.
