and even more for me, protecting my eyesight!It’s all about risk isn’t it. Personally I wouldn’t let my sugars go that high for that long, indeed I rarely go anywhere near 9. No one can predict who will and who won’t get complications from regular and prolonged spikes, but it wouldn’t be something I’d consider doing. I like my feet hands and kidneys in good condition!
Oh yes I meant to put feet, eyes and kidneys!and even more for me, protecting my eyesight!
Did you test before the chocolate and at the one hour mark? Then a test at the three hour mark could be useful too.had a box of the Lindt white chocolate 2 hours ago . Just done a BS 7.2
Be warned that a lot will depend on what you ate before and when, if you did any exercise/used your muscles after eating the chocs etc, and the '2hr' may not be the end of the spike - this is where the graphs from a Libre come into their own.had a box of the Lindt white chocolate 2 hours ago .

We did go out for a 30 minute walk after consuming the chocs ( I eat nothing else ) and I can eat the 90% lindts a whole bar actually however although 6.5 after two hours I feelBe warned that a lot will depend on what you ate before and when, if you did any exercise/used your muscles after eating the chocs etc, and the '2hr' may not be the end of the spike - this is where the graphs from a Libre come into their own.
The 7.2 could be the peak, or coming down after a quick high spike, finger-pricking can't tell you this unless you measure every 15 mins, and no-one wants to do that!
If you check out @glucosegoddess on instagram there's a lot of the science explained in simple terms and hacks that will reduce the effects for everyone.
PS. A couple of squares of Lindt 90% choc is the best and for me isn't detectable on my graph
So a rise of 2.5 mmols/l, higher than is recommended.Was 4.7 before chocs then 7.2 after two hours then 6.5 after two hours 20 mins
It's good to 'coat your carbs' with fats, so maybe chop some chocolates up with a couple of berries and a tablespoon or 2 of greek yogurt to minimise the BG rise, then the 30 minute walk. Better still, have a salad-based dinner beforehand and the chocs as 'pudding'; but never eat them on an empty stomach.We did go out for a 30 minute walk after consuming the chocs ( I eat nothing else ) and I can eat the 90% lindts a whole bar actually however although 6.5 after two hours I feel
