[QUOTE="brianmt, post: 1624772, member: 412792"] On Saturday I did my blood sugar upon waking and it was 5.2, I was going to drive 200 miles in a few hours, so bearing in mind the DVLA's recommendation of not driving with a BG of less than 5, I decided to up my BG. Anyway my better half had just made herself a toasted teacake and the smell was gorgeous, so I thought " one of them will raise my BG " I must say it was soooooo tasty, After a hour I did my BG and was slightly disappointed to find it was 8.6, I didn't expect it to be that high, after 2 hours my BG was 6.0, much more acceptable. I set off on my journey After reaching my destination some 3 hours later , I did my BG and found it to be a good 5.7. I don't intend to make a habit of eating teacakes but apart from the rather high spike after a hour , it seems my body handled it quite well. I'm just a bit worried about the 8.6 spike, do you think that's normal ? [/QUOTE]
