Researching it myself, that's wrong for a T2, and is the UK recommendation for a T1.If you maintained a steady 8.5, then that would equate to the 52. However (as I understand it) the UK recommendation for Type 2 is to not exceed 8.5, ignoring spikes immediately after meals. The US one is not to exceed 10, but that's including after-meal spikes. Since these are upper limits, your average should be somewhere below them, as long as you stick to them most of the time. My current Libre (which tends to overread) has seen me peak around 8.5 once already this morning, however my average for the last 24 hours is currently 6.5, and it typically sits in the range mid 6's to low 7's.</blockquote>
