[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2603251, member: 53162"] Heya [USER=571792]@LozzaB[/USER] Welcome to the forum :) Yes absolutely normal to spike between meals - non diabetics also spike, it's impossible to keep a straight line as spikes are affected by anything from carbs eaten, exercise, hormones, stress, heat, alcohol etc etc so try not to fixate on a straight line, as long as your back in range before your next meal around 4-5 hours later that's fine. As a newly diagnosed you will experience a 'honeymoon phase' as your less stressed pancreas decides to kick out some more insulin, it can last from a few months to a year, mine was only short lived around 3-4 months but meant I had to reign my insulin in to avoid hypos, which I hate !!! There's alot to learn but it will become intuitive over time. Just shout on here if you need any support, we have all been there x [/QUOTE]
