[QUOTE="Suz2, post: 2108477, member: 511909"] Your initial spike is not a problem since it levels out at hour 2 and hour 3. Prolonged high blood sugars are the problem, not brief spikes that resolve in an hour or two. I would recommend you not drive yourself crazy testing and testing. This is a serious diagnosis, yes, but you can obsess too much and worry isn't good for you either. Test before eating and 2 hours after eating. Track your results. If you are within a good range before meals and 2 hours after, you are probably doing what you need to do to control your sugars at this point. I have been diabetic for over 30 years. It never gets easier, but you can learn to live with it. [/QUOTE]
