Oh that's interesting, I'm not going over 7 but when used to 5&6 little worrying, should I b concerned ?It may be the other way round - one of the signs I used to have was hot flushes but it was because my readings were higher.
This was long before I hit the age when it could have been menopause, and they disappeared completely when I got my carbs properly under control.

Will give it a try, many thanksNo, it was just a suggestion. no way that 7 would trigger a hot flush for me. I think I would have been at least 10+ but this was before I got a meter, so that is rather a vague guess.
Any chance you could be peaking higher than you think, for short periods?
Maybe test every few minutes for a meall that contains carbs.
But it that isn't happening, then pretend I didn't pipe up! it was just speculation...
ThankyouIt's not a situation I have found myself in, but aligned to the discussion between you and @Brunneria , it could be worthwhile just diarising your food, bloods and flushes for maybe a couple of weeks to see if there is a relationship between anything, whether it be timing, foods eaten and so on.
I might be inclined to resist making any changes to anything until you have a clearer picture of how often, when (relating to time of the day/night/food/stress) you're having the flushes, and have records of what you had eaten, with the associated blood scores.
Yes, I remain a real data jockey, and proud.
That's what I think but not sure there is anything we can do?It is interesting that you mentioned this. My BS has been running a bit higher than usual and I have been getting hot flushes as well. By the sound of it they could be related.
Eating certain carbs does it for me. I used to think it was spiking that caused some hot flushes, until I checked my readings, and would find them ok. It took a while for it to sink in that it was the type of food that seemed to be causing the flushes, rather than the height my level climbed to.
