well the most damage seems to appear when levels come over 7.5 mmol..... and also if one is very often spiking very high spikes...even when being in an average acceptable level.

so surely it is the best to keep under 7.5 when spiking from eating.

I shall give that a read thank you

Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up about your binges, @gilllsmaad - you are battling enough with depression and that is stress which can affect your levels. You are only one month in to a new way of eating - it takes a long time to sort it all out. As others have said, it's not only what you eat: stress, sleeplessness and other factors have an adverse effect. Get out into the sunshine if you can, either walking or just sitting quietly in the shade listening to the birds - that's a huge 'lift' for me - and be gentle on yourself.

thank you Sue192 I know it is early days but i want to do the best i can and yes stress depression and lots of sleeplessness is surely effecting me as when I'm very low i tend to eat too much.
