Looks like bg should return to normal after about 3 1/2 hours of eating...
Personally, I'd say that it asymptotically approaches around 80.

I'm far away of being normal.
The endos say should never be over 110. I guess 10 points is not a big deal. it isn't for me.
The bold, blue line is the mean ("normal" people call this the "average"), and the thin lines show plus or minus two sigma. IOW, at least 95% of the population is between the upper and lower bounds.

No wonder I feel better when I awaken around 80. It looks like I've been trying to run my FBG at the high end of normal, +2 SD.
