Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sadsac@21" data-source="post: 2721485" data-attributes="member: 585837">I’m still new to all this so I apologise if this is a silly question.i was diagnosed in January, refused medication, mainly because I can’t see how I know I’m controlling things if also taking medication. up until last week I have been doing finger prick testing three times a day. I was persuaded to get a libre sensor.  This week I have been using it and getting lower readings with it than with finger prick, but I understand that this is normal. It’s also quite interesting to see the graph throughout the day.What I don’t understand is: I can clearly see by the graph when I have eaten but my readings shoot up from the 7’s into the high 9’s to 10.5 after eating anything. this I presume is really not good, but I haven’t been able to anything without this happenin.  Does this mean I’m going to have to go on medication?</blockquote>
