OK I am being very analytical here I also try and understand the issues here .... I read on a "website" the other day that morning spikes are not uncommon. This may not have been a medical website. This can be hormonal as you body gets a kick to get going in the AM. I had a 9.0 the other morning for zero fathomable reason....An Hr later I didn't. It was down to 5.9 had not eaten anything or drunken anything intentionally.

Ive done over three hundred tests in the past few weeks (3 months) I have lost somehwere near 2 and a bit stone (16t and 5'9 currently) BUT I really do have a large muscle mass - that's not an excuse I...I really am solid.)...

My honest response is one HIGH is no more indicative of a concern than say one LOW... monitor the trend not the one off result.

Averages are just that .... you have to have several HIGHS and several LOWS to get there.
There are NO absolutes...

I have a friend who's Type 1 and a Band 8 Nurse his maxim is....for me...

Never double figures...and just keep YOUR average decreasing...

Don't get hung up on numbers ..simply see a decrease....over time....
