[QUOTE="cugila, post: 147719, member: 15325"] [b]As Sue says the subject of one hour spikes has been discussed here at length over the time this Forum has been in existence. Yes, it's true that a spike can occur at such intervals, it can also occur at other lengthier intervals too, sometimes hours longer. In my 13 yrs as a Diabetic I have had spikes at all sorts of times, however a spike is nowhere near as bad as the continuous high Bg levels sustained especially after meals by poorly controlled Diabetic's. That is why the majority of the time and in most medical circles a two hour test is recommended when first starting to test and try to gain an understanding of what is happening to your own body. After two hours the levels should ideally be almost back to normal.....if they are not then that is indicative that something needs adjusting, carbs and/or medications. As Sue says it is basic advice designed for new members, who we do not wish to confuse as they are usually well confused already. However, I am sure they will appreciate your input but we do not intend to change our advice any time soon. Thanks again. cugila Forum Monitor[/b] [/QUOTE]
