Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="LinsT" data-source="post: 1019944" data-attributes="member: 207753">Thank you for this Squire. I had read this and knew the target levels and generally I am within the 'non diabetic' levels (only through serious monitoring of my carb intake) but reading further down the page it does state that problems occur when BG is high for sustained periods of time. Apologies for missing this first time round - hopefully that is a reflection on the amount of information our brains are bombarded with on diagnosis, and not due to my poor intellect!My concerns came from the fact that its so easy to make innocent mistakes. The cake incident I mentioned in my initial post was obvious - i knew it was likely to affect BG (though not as much as it did!!). But there have been times when I've eaten things I honestly thought would be fine - a single teaspoon of a dried tropical fruit mixture on some natural yoghurt that spiked me to over 10 for example.I am coming to the conclusion that solitary spikes are not an issue, as long as you take notice of what caused it and avoid the trigger in future. However I'm happy to hear from people who may disagree with this.I think I'm probably testing too much - maybe this is a common thing in the first 6 monthsof diagnosis - I test around 7 times a day, sometimes more. It's just that I've read so many testimonials from people who have managed their BG's for ages and then things deteriorate without reason. So every time I see a spike I have a little panic!</blockquote>
