[QUOTE="valuator, post: 2219854, member: 470730"] These days the spikes are mostly caused due to experimentation. Trying to figure out "what can I eat". I fear I am not asking the correct question. Is something that causes a rise of no more than 2 mmol at the 2 hour mark "safe" or "not safe"? I feel like the Libre is maybe giving me too much info and causing me to over-think? Let's take sweet potato....I know a lot of people report being able to eat a moderate amount, with the finger prick at the 2-hour mark showing a rise of no more than 2 mmol. So they put it into the "safe" category. Is this correct even if there was a larger spike within that 2-hour window? (which you would only know about if you are wearing a Libre or equivalent). Sorry if it sounds like I am being difficult....it is hard to give up foods I love to eat, so I want to make sure I fully understand what is good vs. bad. :( [/QUOTE]
