[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 882535, member: 138639"] Getting it higher then 6.8 is fine, Getting it higher then 7.8mmol/L CAN have damaging effects... I only say it like that because it has been shown that BS higher then 7.8 cause some forms of damage, but the severity is different for everyone, and it is time dependent. A spike to 10, and back down to 6 where you're only over 7.8 for 1 hour may yield no noticeable effects over the course of someones lifetime. Its all about how these 'highs' build up over time. In my books quick spikes aren't my largest concern. If i see that my sugars jump 8+ and i can get them back <7.8 all in a 2 hour window Its okay in my books. Its when they jump 8+ and stay there for 4+ hours constantly that i would start to worry and re-think my management plan. Its all about noticing the problem asap, and returning then BS to a normal level asap. No ones perfect so we all just need to do what we can do knowing when to take action. [/QUOTE]
