The cake would have no doubt had carbs in which do take longer to be brought back down. Sugar spikes you really really high but comes down quite quickly compared to carbs so I don't think it will be as bad as the cake was. I can understand your reluctance but its so much worse to have the doctors not diagnosing you properly because your tightly controlling your condition at the moment. Unless they think you're condition is serious diabetes ur unlikely to get access to all of the tests/checks etc.. that everyone else gets.
A few hours of a high would be nothing compared to long-term issues due to an incomplete diagnosis. Also, when your control starts to slip and you need to move onto medication or insulin they will make you do it then anyway when you have even less cells left so I defo think the sooner the better for your cells in the long run. Nothing happens in the short term with this disease other than hypos....it's a progressive disease that over time has consequences not just the odd day or even be odd week...
Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 23 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day.
