Exactly. The duration of the spike is exactly what brings up A1C, for anyone. Even a post meal spike for a diabetic, at 180 or higher, isn't going to do damage either, as long as it is brought down within 2-4 hours.

Interesting graph... To me, it shows/confirms that a post meal spike isn't all that bad, esp. if it is also happening in non-diabetics...
