Ok, so I am aware that the guidelines for a Type 1 diabetic suggest to be under 9mmol after eating a meal. However, I was told by my DSN that you can go up to 14mmol 2 hours post meal as long as you drop back down to a number between 4-7mmol before your next meal.

Does this seem right? I have my reservations and I'm trying hard to be under 9 after each meal..
 
I go for under 9, but recently diagnosed people do have a tiny bit of leeway because of the honeymoon period. I was told 10 or under.
 
I was told this to but mine does go up to 12 every now and then but usually drop back down except if I'm I'll all the best.
 
14 from a DSN??sorry, she/he should be stating what the guidelines are and telling you on a long term basis that under 9.0 after a meal but whilst they titeatinv doses xx is acceptable...

To me that is poor education... but 30+ years ago I wasnt given a figure after meals to achieve..jyst before meals..

Good that rises after meals are now having guidelines but personally I think nurses should give better guidance and words.
 
That's really high, if my BS went that high I wouldn't be able to breathe properly and I'd feel like there was a bus parked on my head.

I used to get those levels nearly constantly! Maybe that's why I've felt so awful for the last few years
