[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2074289, member: 501623"] I wouldn't test every 30 mins as a rule either. I just wanted to work out what spikes me higher at which point out of curiosity. I also understand the 2 hour mark is known as the point to watch to see if things are back to normal, but I think if I test at 1h and see a spike to 8s and 9s, it may only be a matter of time if I keep eating that before the 2h level stops returning to 5s or 6s and starts staying in the 7s till 3 hours. So cumulatively, I think high spikes matter when trying to tweak your diet. Some don't care though. I have a cousin about the same age as (43yo) who has had diabetes for a while. She hides the fact that she lives on lollies (as her mother told me) and now she's already lost a toe and is on dialysis. That's obviously an extreme case because she probably doesn't test much or dose her insulin well (although it sounds tricky for everyone to get the dose spot on), but keeping.her head in the sand about the sweets is a shame for her health. In that way, carbs are just as addictive and dangerous as street drugs. [/QUOTE]
