[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1923204, member: 41816"] I decided to get some evidence of my glucose levels on carbs, and my RH on the Libre. In case I ever needed them. so I waited til my birthday, and took Mr B out for a cream tea in the nice cafe down the road. Do I know how to live, or wot? The entire spread was 1 round of sarnies 1 cream scone a choc cream slice thing a baby strawberry mousse I tucked in, and a few mins later felt the sugar headache start. At which point I bottled, and asked for a doggy bag. Think I got through the sarnies and half the scone before stopping, but the sugar high makes the memory a bit fuzzy. Mr B ate all his portion and one of my cakes at the time. Then he spread the doggy bag over the next day or so. My readings started at 5.2 rose to 15.7 at around 90 mins took over 6 hours to return to normal at which point I dipped into a reactive hypo of the 3s. it would have gone lower, but I am an old hand at this, and ate some proper low carb food and started to feel better. It was the biggest spike I have measured, but then I went low carb long before I got a meter. Shudder to think what the highs may have been before that. Anyway, I got the records I wanted. Although my doc (at the time) then refused to look at them saying 'the Libre doesn't find favour in these parts'. Such a dear man. He thought I was pre-D and then back to normal, because of my HbA1cs. Didn't 'believe' in low carbing. [/QUOTE]
