Anyone find that foods listed as "safe" spike your blood?

@brendisha79 I know that with age, our pancreas might not work as effectively. Since you are in-the-know regarding diabetes, I'm just wondering about A1C: does the "acceptable or normal" level rise with age given the aging of the pancreas (and also given no complications such as kidney problems, vision problems or neuropathy)?

No, A1C should not rise with age. One of the things that could cause is the continued excess consumption of refined carbohydrates (CHO) after older age which possibly leads to insulin resistance.
