[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2189791, member: 362123"] No worries, the high readings after candy and a cookie are to be expected. That's what sugar will do to you. That's why you got high readings. People who are not diabetic can spike high like this if eating a lot of carbs in a meal. If you want to keep them under control, stay away from coke or get the sugar free version. Start reading labels and look at the total carb count on foods per serving. Some things can look ok, but people don't take into account what a serving size actually is and can be far smaller then what they'd dish out for themselves. Ice cream is a great example, a serving size is actually really small. Same goes with cereals. Candy is just nothing but sugar. There is a link under my post high lighted in red, "nutritional thingy" which is written by one of our members here. It's very good info wise for those looking to reduce carb intake and maintain good health. A good eating guide I think, worth checking out if interested. [/QUOTE]
