I have seen 7.8 mmo/l mentioned as being the level above which damage occurs. I would think though that a spike above that wouldn't cause much of a problem as long as it was short lived and a very infrequent event. Soon after I started testing I realised that my fasting reading was the highest of the day and no matter what I did my liver was going to do what it has evolved to do. If I couldn't influence the levels I could see no point in stabbing my fingers to see what they were. All of my testing was based around my meals and still is although I don't do as many tests now, usually I test my evening meal which is quite often the only meal I have.You asked " does diabetes only come back with weight gain " well does diabetes ever really go away ? I'm pretty sure I would have heard if they had found a cure. Does weight gain cause T2 or does T2 cause weight gain ? A friend I have known for over 50 years has been morbidly obese for most of his adult life. He suffers from heart disease and non alcoholic fatty liver disease but not diabetes. And then we've got the 10% of T2's who are not overweight. So it's not just about weight, genetics maybe ? Who knows, there are as many theories about what causes T2 as there are different ideas on how to manage it .You have obviously found a way that works for you with your excellent HbA1c and weight loss. Seems to me that you are doing everything you can to have a healthy and long life, just keep on keeping on</blockquote>
