[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2471864, member: 517232"] First of all, relax Lets look at what a normal non-diabetic persons BG looks like on a CGM [URL]https://www.diabetesdaily.com/forum/threads/a-study-where-153-non-diabetics-wore-a-dexcom-what-truly-normal-looks-like.137801/[/URL] Researchers analyzed 10 days of [URL='https://diatribe.org/dexcom-g6-cgm-no-fingersticks-one-button-insertion-and-10-day-wear']Dexcom G6 CGM[/URL] data from 153 children (6+ years) and adults with a baseline A1C of 5.1%. The primary findings: [LIST] [*]Among all study participants, the average blood sugar was 99 mg/dl [*]Time-in-tight-range of 70-140 mg/dl was 97% in this group of people without diabetes [*]Average time in hyperglycemia (blood glucose greater than 140 mg/dl) for the group was 2.1% (just 30 minutes per day) [*]Average time greater than 160 mg/dl was approximately 4 mins/day [*]Time below 60 mg/dl and 54 mg/dl were both negligible [/LIST] So let's answer your first question, yes, everyone spikes >7.8, but it's of short duration. Complications seem to be more prevalent with higher BGs over a long time frame [/QUOTE]
