Type 2 Oatmeal test

OK?
Understanding your initial post was born of "irony", & thus being a "defender of the test" myself. For all Ds. Thus getting the head around the day to day figures..
How's about a virtual handshake?!

Agreed.

@Geordie_P - I apologise that your thread has gone horribly off-topic, and my own input may have contributed to it.

I intend to lock the thread now, in order to stop the squabbling, which isn't helpful to you.

Please keep posting, asking questions and forming your own views. You've made a great start to your journey.

I did not state 1.6 is a worrying spike, so kindly do not twist words.

Good, don't use the word 'spiking' in your response then?
And, what better then?
Any helpful suggestions forthcoming?

A 'spike' from 4.6 to 6.2?
Stop testing.

edit by mod -- himtoo --
you have no knowledge of the OP's history , knowledge of D , or what spikes or doesn't spike.

The OP is simply telling what has happened to him and looking for positive , constructive remarks to assist in furthering his understanding of his condition.

By testing post meal spikes we all learn what foods suit us better.

Hi @douglas99
I am sorry if you have taken the wrong end of the stick with my edit.
I was supporting a view that the OP should test , should report his post meal spike , and should receive support that a rise of 1.6 is pretty **** good.

your post suggesting not to test at all is what drew me to answer you -- with your long held experience on the forum you should know that newish members might not have your experience to understand what an acceptable spike is ..........

this appears a misunderstanding from both of us and as I don't know you but I would gladly shake hands with you as this appears a miscommunication on both our parts
