“That’s a scary blood glucose reduction.”

It would be scary if your blood glucose were only about 125, but perfectly satisfactory if it were up in the range of 200 or so. At about 300 or so, the extremities start dying, blindness occurs, and the kidneys fail.

Really fast.

A blood glusclose of 300 does not cause all of that to happen. If it did then anyone who ate any large meal would be in danger. The damage comes from it staying there for extended periods of time. Almost any normal person who would have a BG doen 1 hour after a large meal will test in the 200-300 BG range, it’s whether it comes back down on it’s own is what makes diabetics and non diabetics different.
