Is a spike of 12.5 for a short period ok?

[Scott-C]

Way to go @Scott-C , 40 years here and sometimes there's no second guessing it. Correct and move on, there are more things to do than sit worrying.

So true. I think it was easier when we were dx'd all those years ago: keep generally in range, don't sweat it too much about excursions.

Nowadays, there's everyone and their auntie shouting about how you'll die if you don't keto.

I over-bolused a bit on my main meal today, but it wasn't anything a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer didn't sort out.

I think also possibly because the testing is sooo accurate now, and it just wasn't available then. We would never have known if we were 12.5...

I'm not an expert and I'm sure others will be able to give better guidance, but my BG would spike like that if I ate 50g of carbs at a single sitting. I aim to keep my carbs under 30g a day. We are all different of course.

But unless you are on insulin you are not comparing like with like.

@Scott-C I'm sorry to derail this thread but I was drawn to the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer comment. Do you know whether they are anything like the original Gray Dunn, Hampden Wafers?

Not sure. A quick googles shows they were made in Glasgow just down the road from me but they're not ringing any bells - a bit of Scottish culture I must have missed!

Hmm, they're quite good for stopping a slow slide hypo so they're not necessarily out of the game.
