What is it that you think sowhatquestion means by "sugar rush"? My guess is you think he means hyperactivity.

What is the difference between a diabetic glycemic excursion (what you said) and a postprandial glycemic excursion (what I linked)?

I'm going to answer your first question with a question: what do you think he means by "nasty crash"? Because I guarantee it's not what happens post-excursion.

There's no difference -- postprandial excursions are a diabetic phenomenon, and have nothing to do with what non-diabetic individuals think of as the effect of sugar and fiber on their health and mood.
