Wouldn't the rate of matabolizing sugars strongly rely on factors of age, weight and gender?
Alcohol does. Sugar turns to alcohol which turns to estrogen . There for screwing with your pancreas and we're looking for one specific diet to cure it all when it really has to be formed around the age, weight. Gender, bmi and bone density
I guess we were not clear on the reason for your post, which seemed to be concern about your blood sugars. Have you been diagnosed with pre-diabetes? At 87 I would feel fine about an A1C above what you have, to be honest. If fluctuations affect how you feel, avoiding fast carbs/sugar and having protein and/or fat with carbs helps, as do frequent small meals.
I am dealing with fluctuations myself at 72. My kid was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 4 so have been dealing with blood sugars for 30 years! I am terrible about avoiding sugar: it causes lows for me two hours later.
