About 3 hours after eating a rice dish for supper, my blood glucose is over 300. I feel perfectly fine and I am about to hit the gym and run 4 miles in 30 minutes, followed by weights. But, according to AI (below), I’m having a medical emergency. Sorry, but I think it’s way overblown.
“Yes, a blood glucose reading of 300 mg/dL is very high and potentially dangerous, and a result of 300 mg/dL after eating rice is a significant spike. Rice, especially white rice, is a high-glycemic index food that can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar after eating. You should contact a healthcare professional immediately for guidance and monitor for symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis, as a level over 300 mg/dL can be a medical emergency.”

At 9 pm my glucose was almost 330, according to AI a “medical emergency.” I felt fine and hit the gym. At 250 lbs. and 55 years old, I ran 4 miles and burned almost 800 calories in 30 minutes. Then I lifted weights pretty intensely for about 15 minutes. Never once did I feel tired, sluggish, or at all off. Quite the contrary, I felt great. How can that be a “medical emergency?”
Now my glucose is about 100, as I head to bed, still feeling great, about to sleep like a baby.
