I am not sure what constitutes a spike in BG levels. Mine range between 6.5 mmol/l and 9.5 mmol/l is this considered a spike?
Hope this helps.cliveHello AlbertLaidlaw,welcome to the forum,a spike is defined as a rise of more than 3 mmols after eating.View attachment 18111
It's the % of the change that really matters rather than the actual amount.
4 to 6 is a bigger spike than 6 to 8
Where has the 4 to 6 figure data come from?
From my keyboard.
I can assure you the numbers appeared on the screen after I pressed the corresponding key.

Unfortunately, the op, being a newbie, may not appreciate your idea of a joke, and may not have realised you were simply making it up.
the numbers mathematically add up - but somebody experiencing a 4 to 6 rise every day would not need to worry to be fair( non diabetic) -- somebody doing 6 to 8 would have a bit ( not loads more ) more cause for concern4 to 6 is 50% ...6 to 8 is 33.3%
