A single glucose spike to 140 mg/dL that recovers to 100 mg/dL within an hour is less detrimental than multiple spikes above 150 mg/dL throughout the day.

“So, I think it's important to take a macro view too and look at the big picture. What's your glucose doing in a 24/7, you know, we have two weeks of data at least for everybody. What's it doing in a two-week average? What's your average glucose? What's your standard deviation, which is the swings in glucose? We want to see how these postprandial responses are contributing to a bigger picture.”

“And I think 160 is a decent threshold to reach for. But what we tell our individuals, our customers at NutriSense, is that this is really about repetition. If you have, you know, three meals a day you're eating and all of them are hitting 150 and that's contributing then to an average glucose that's rising, you're having a slower recovery, a larger area under the curve, that's a much different story than somebody who has one glucose spike during the day to 140 and it comes back down to 100 in an hour.”

“if a person's average blood glucose is 98 milligrams per deciliter with a standard deviation of 16 milligrams per deciliter it doesn't really matter what kind of spikes they have because they're they're clearly not going to be too many”
