Glucemias DE

This comes from a medical report, in the history section. The patient has diabetes, and in giving the figures for her heart rate, blood pressure and such, it then says, in reference to her average blood sugar levels, from her tests

Glucemias DE 160-120 CE 218-150

Could it be "desayuno" and "cena"?

This is from Spanish hospital

Sounds likea very wise principle, George! Thanks

Makes sense to me.

Dear David,
One of the first things they taught us in medical school was that when you didn't know something to admit it say you didn't know rather than make things up. I am going to stick to that cardinal rule and tell you that I don't know, however, your interpretation sounds logical and not being an endocrinologist it is interesting to see that there is currently technology to "map" the glycemia on an extended period of time (72 hours) in what has been defined as a glycemia holter system ( see link below). Maybe this provides some sustenance to your explanation.https://medicinapreventiva.info/monitoreo-continuo-de-glucos...

A common reason for high sugar levels before lunch, dinner or bedtime can be taking too little short or rapid acting insulin at your previous meal.

The glycemic index or glycaemic index (GI) is a number associated with the carbohydrates in a particular type of food that indicates the effect of these carbohydrates on a person's blood glucose (also called blood sugar) level. A value of 100 represents the standard, an equivalent amount of pure glucose.

The GI represents the rise in a person's blood sugar level two hours after consumption of the food. The glycemic effects of foods depends on a number of factors, such as the type of carbohydrate, physical entrapment of the carbohydrate molecules within the food, fat and protein content of the food and organic acids or their salts in the meal. The GI is useful for understanding how the body breaks down carbohydrates and takes into account only the available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate minus fiber) in a food. Glycemic index does not predict an individual's glycemic response to a food, but can be used as a tool to assess the insulin response burden of a food, averaged across a studied population. Individual responses vary greatly.
