[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1526827, member: 295621"] [USER=389881]@nathanw777[/USER], I have high BG from time to time - more often of late as I've been having some issues, but things are getting a bit better now. I tend to find my BG's go highest straight after meals, so I try to minimise that as much as possible by taking my insulin in advance. It's not something I suggest you try, but just thought I'd elaborate a little on how I try and get round my high BG when it typically happens:) [USER=223921]@JohnEGreen[/USER], [USER=240838]@Kristin251[/USER] - non-diabetic BG spikes are a lot more common than we're led to believe. I was informed about this from my DSN when a lot of the staff were wearing Libre sensors. The spikes went as high as 13.2mmol/L apparently! As far as I'm aware, any readings <2 hours post prandial are inconclusive in diagnosing diabetes. Even though the "random plasma glucose test" would suggest that any reading over 11.1mmol/L would indicate diabetes, I believe it has to be out with that 2 hour post-prandial window, although I may be wrong. Your daughter could always request an OGTT [USER=223921]@JohnEGreen[/USER], I would have thought the results from one of those tests coupled with an HbA1c would be a pretty definitive indicator of health. Apologies for derailing this thread any further guys! [/QUOTE]
