Hello, sorry if my question seems a bit silly but what exactly is having a spike in your blood sugar mean. I gather that it's to do with your BS going up, but how much is up? A typical day BS readings for me was:
Fasting BS 5.7
Before breakfast 5.7, 2 hrs after 6.4
Before lunch 5.7, 2hrs after 7.8
Before dinner 6.0, 2hrs after 6.8
Before bed 6.0
So from the above, does the rise of 21mmol(?) for lunch means that I had a spike? Or does a spike mean going above 8.5?
All I've been concentrating on is not going above 8.5, or if I can help it 7.8 And what is a good mmol rise, 2, 4, 10?
Oh confused one
