[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2501710, member: 365308"] The difficulty with flash and cgm is that you can visually see the spike and hence seek to keep yourself in range whereas normal (functional pancreas blessed) do have spikes after a meal. If those spikes are too often and prolonged then that is damaging to both type 1 and 2s obviously but I am not sure if that is what you are talking about? Are you back in range by bedtime or still chasing the high down by waking up time? The only way I know is to avoid snacks, to cycle/power walk after meal but mainly to avoid carbs over 30g. If you want to eat carbs perhaps be accepting of the spike but try hard to keep insulin sensitive by keeping muscles and endurance exercise plus low carb to minimise the difficulty of getting the insulin to hit the carbs at the right time. This seems to be universally hard for type 1s even with a closed loop system like mine. [/QUOTE]
