9.1 this morning. Not doing well lately at all. BG average on the rise. Just not focused on myself these days. Work is killing me and I have old parents who are getting needier and needier... as a result I'm not planning my meals and have started to grab any old rubbish that's convenient. My...

How long do these transient spikes last? If they are fairly brief, does it matter much?

I've been doing a fairly gentle IF routine for about a week now (14 hours from 8pm to 10am) and it seems to be having a positive effect on my BG levels. So far I've been super strict during that time frame and not having a single calorie; just water and a few sips of black tea or coffee...

Okay thanks for replying both of you. If I was only going to test myself once per day would you recommend a particular time? Just before bed maybe? Having read through a lot of posts here it seems like I'm in big trouble with readings so high. I have a friend at work who was running between 13...
