@collegeprof and @cehunt57: Thanks for your replies! I did not explain the motivation behind watching my blood sugar very well. A few months ago I got a very high Agatston score which was very unexpected. The Agatston score measures calcium in the coronary arteries. I started reading on heart attack prevention and it sounded to me like there is an association with diabetes, or at least there is a higher risk of a coronary event in people with calcification if they also have diabetes. When I started monitoring my blood glucose, I saw very high numbers. The last two days or so, the peaks are much smaller and I have more time in the 50’s. It’s a little like the peaks all were truncated and the entire curve was shifted down a few points. Of course I am very happy if the recent numbers reflect my glucose response, but I am confused by the change.
