Message: <blockquote data-quote="SwissT2" data-source="post: 2449137" data-attributes="member: 547368">On this very site the NICE guidelines for recommended blood sugar targets are given. Type 2 diabetics should apparently aim for 8.5 or below 1.5 hours after a meal, and for Type 1 it is below 9. Presumably these are the values on the tail-end of the spike, the spike itself can be higher. The American Diabetes association recommends a target of 10.0 for diabetics.<a href="https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html" target="_blank">https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html</a><a href="https://www.diabetes.org/healthy-living/medication-treatments/blood-glucose-testing-and-control/checking-your-blood-sugar" target="_blank">https://www.diabetes.org/healthy-living/medication-treatments/blood-glucose-testing-and-control/checking-your-blood-sugar</a>From some of the the comments I've read on these forums those limits would seem to be a bit generous, I'd be interested to know what limits others use and why? What level of spike would be unacceptable to you?</blockquote>
