I worry about the rises over 2 mmol because such rises do harm to the nervous system even short time, its better to stay a little high,say 6-7 mmol rather than experience jumps of more than 2 mmol, you may like to check out dr r bernsteins's 2 nd edition Diabetes explained for a more detailed explanation .all the best to you
