[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 1355654, member: 40343"] What an interesting thread! I'd think so long as your levels remain in safety it's not anything to worry about. I was always told your insulin response for a meal is based on the recent history of carb intake thus if you suddenly up carbs you'll get a few days of higher readings until your response adjusts. Obviously being able to have an insulin response for the amount of carbs you eat is the limiting factor as is the level of standard IR that stops the insulin response from working. My personal experience is my fasting level is always my highest irrespective of average daily carbs. Until my recent relapse I based my carb intake for 4 years solely on the odd fasting test and just adjusted carbs if it started to appear to rise. I then used regular hba1c's as confirmation it was a valid approach for long term monitoring. [/QUOTE]
