[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1601122, member: 355878"] I suspect that no one really knows - it is not allowed to experiment on humans to find out when they start to be damaged - it can happen by accident but you can't intend to do it. Personally I try to keep from spikes as when I am eating what makes me feel good I don't go high - these days even a couple of slices of watermelon do not put my BG over the 8mmol/l I decided was a good top of range when first starting out. I don't try to get away with eating high carb foods - I know I don't need them, and if they are sugary, they make me feel sick as soon as I taste them. I think that the way that doctors and nurses describe testing as obsessive is down to their attitude to patients taking a hand in their treatment - we are not supposed to be too clever by half and so remove the authority they seem to crave. I have a distinctly obsessive attitude about being around to see my grandchildren grow up and only be slightly embarrassed by my presence - I am waiting for my hair to go white so I can colour it more easily - I was thinking purple.
