[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1541517, member: 412001"] I agree with Mr Pot. I think you need to see your GP and get some clarification on your numbers and their meaning. And, perhaps, get an HbA1C done, too? Edit: Sorry, I realise upon rereading that my reply here could seem abrupt. Here's my thinking, to explain myself. It seems that you are following 2 different sets of advice, some of which is given to T1s and some is given to T2s. If you don't have a diagnosis of diabetes of any kind, why are you testing your blood at all? Your BG meter won't detect how much insulin is in your blood or what it's doing, just how much glucose is in there. The only people who need to worry about their insulin "spiking" are people who actively take insulin, because they have to balance how much they take with what they've eaten. You won't be taking insulin without a diagnosis of diabetes (..?) so, again, why are you testing your BG levels at all? I really think you need to talk to a GP and get a blood test done. You seem to need some guidance and clarification that members here won't be able to give you - we can't diagnose and conduct HbA1c's. I hope that's clearer. [/QUOTE]
