The best way to know if I am prone to having spikes would be having an automatic device like Libre Freestyle for a while.Today I purchased an Accu-Check device to make daily glycemia checks, including postprandial ones. It will spear me many lab visits.I don't know if it is related but I am trying to figure out a reason for my frequent heavy sweating bouts, clearly happening when walking, even for a few steps, any sort of physical activity, but at times while reclining and resting also.I haven't a real clue so far.Today I got the result of a blood test done last friday:- fasting BG 6.00 mmol/1.08gr (looks like a constant over the last 6 weeks), - HbA1c 34 mmol/5.2% (very slightly lower than usual values),- triglycerides 1.28 mmol/1.12gr (first normal level in 7 years of testing). Let's hope it will somewhat help.I guess my possible past spikes were due to hearty rapid meals of carbs late in the evening followed by inactivity : then probably there was a sudden spike in my blood at night and a relatively lull during the day. I never was much of a breakfast guy... I suppose my late evening hearty meals used to affect my morning appetite.Also maybe the liver is/was playing tricks, or the insuline production a bit dodgy at times.I was wondering if people when having spikes do feel them in a some sorts of way: like with a slight increase of heartbeat, a bit of sweat, feeling nervous, etc. Or is it a totally silent event ?Also maybe what comes into play is sleep : I was very negligent on that aspect, the glycemia regulating process was maybe impaired by my lack of regular sleep.Thanks again, your messages are very helpful.</blockquote>
