Blood glucose response to eating... interesting

[The Dude]

So a buddy and I go out to eat the other day and we are talking about how I'm able to eat so much and not gain fat like others. So we both eat the exact same thing 9oz sirloin and garlic mashed potatoes and unsweet tea. He has an at home blood sugar tester so we both use it. His blood is at 92, mine was near 72... exact same meal. So that would mean he still has more sugar in his blood, can anyone come up with ideas based on that?

No idea, this is beyond me, but I'd be curious to know.

You would be like me then. My doctor termed it that my body was "really efficient" in producing insulin. So I can eat a huge meal (for me), and 30-60 minutes later, my blood sugar can drop to the 70s (often even lower, thus the hypoglycemic response). Normally, a person's glucose levels one hour after eating should be between 110-130 or so then drop back to 90-100 later.
