I posted a query on the Diabetes UK Type 1 Forum in July asking for advice about the danger of short term high blood sugar levels (9 to 16 mmoL), as I understood from my diabetes nurse that such levels in the short term of hours and even days were not dangerous, but were, of course, if they carried on for weeks and months. Other Type 1s I had spoken to said this was not the case, and even very short term high levels, if occurring often , would cause big problems eventually to diabetics.
Apart from one somewhat unhelpful response, I did not receive any advice or answers to this important point for those recently diagnosed as diabetics, I would be grateful for the input of your experts. Thanks.
