Are you sure we don’t know what normal blood glucose ranges are after eating? I’m pretty sure they are between 120-140 as an upper limit. I also thought post-meal BG was exactly how we diagnosed diabetes? Clarification on that point would be helpful.

What?

I can understand that absolute values aren't very meaningful, as they're probably missing a lot of necessary context. BMI is one metric that doesn't paint a clear picture on its own -- but no doctor would ever rely solely on it.

I can't understand dismissing most of medical science. Can you expand on that part of your statement?
