[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 1019880, member: 140811"] There seem to be different schools of thought on this [USER=207753]@LinsT[/USER] , many people on the forums like to maintain tight control and wouldn't let thier blood sugars rise that high. My endocrinologist is only interested in my a1c and disregards any mention of highs and spikes. As a T1 I seem to drift up to 12 or 13 once a week when I misjudge carbs and insulin requirements, my endo' thinks that's normal. Many people also watch the size of the actual spike, and think that you should try not to go higher than 2mmol from where you were at the start of the meal. I am not sure if there's a clear answer to your question about the timing of the spike, and I am not in a position to cite any reference to research on this. Maybe somebody else can be more informative. [/QUOTE]
