[QUOTE="Kentoldlady1, post: 1600885, member: 414280"] Hi, thanks for the reply. These aren't my levels, sorry, should have made that clear. I am just curious about high spikes. So you are saying that high spikes do no damage in themselves, its how long you stay too high thats the problem? I understand that non ds will have spikes, but presumably will return to a lower range more quickly. But for us this will not happen. So your hbalc will be fine, but you could still be spending to much time with a raised hbalc. My last hbalc was 39, so I am happy with my levels. I am just wondering if sudden high spikes very occasionally , maybe a couple of times a week which have no impact on hbalc do have an impact on health. Perhaps retinopathy/neuropathy? I don't do this, but wonder if we put too much faith in hbalc or if we worry too much about eating to the meter? [/QUOTE]
