The figure of 7 mmol/l quoted is the highest it would ever be 2 hrs after a meal. usually it is around 6 mmol/l or less.  The 2010 guideline levels 2 hrs after meals are no more than 8.5 mmol/l (Type 2), Type 1 no more than 9 mmol/l.  Fasting levels are between 4 - 7 mmol/l, so if I did happen to reach the dizzy heights of 7 after a meal I would be quite happy. Target levels in any case vary with the individual and what is agreed with their own HCP.  Perhaps yours has given you a more ambitious target.......My HCP recommends that my levels after meals should be kept between 5 - 7, They usually are. If I go any lower than that, less than 4.5  I would start to feel hypo symptoms as my hypo awareness is good.  I am intrigued to know why you think most HCP's recommend a Bg of 5 mmol/l.  Who is that ? When would that be, Waking, pre meal, post meal when......</blockquote>
