About Biphasic Spikes (Two Glucose Spikes after a Meal)

After consuming a large amount of dietary carbohydrates, people can show different patterns of glucose elevation. Some people spike once (a “monophasic” glucose curve), while others have two peaks (a “biphasic” glucose curve).

What is a biphasic spike?

A biphasic spike is when you see two distinct glucose rises after a meal.
