Hi guys had some pasta tonight and it went 14.8 after being in the 7s and once in the early 8s two hours after eating. Is this just a machine error?

Pasta can spike blood sugars. Depending on what you had with the pasta (like, a lot of cheese or fatty ground meats), the spike can slow down and appear later than you might think.
 
Oh the dreaded pasta I know I’m type 1 but its taken me years of experimenting to me being able to eat it , if I follow normal rules of taking insulin 20 mins before eating my insulin would run out before the pasta would hit my system, I have to take my insulin 2-3 it’s after I’ve eaten it , so must be really problematic if your not taking insulin but in answer to your question I would say no not a machine error .
