Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2008How Spikey Is Too Spikey?
I have been managing early onset T2 for several years now with D&E. Morning sugars are in the range of 104-126, with 112 or so being an average (I'd guess). Diet is very low carb, biased toward protein and fat. My reading suggests that I should strive to be <160 1hr post- parandial, and <120 2hr pp. Mostly, I'm there. But ... I have recently been watching my spike within the first hour (testing at 15 min intervals) to see which food spike me the worst. (Oddly, oatmeal seems to be a big offender). So ... I guess the question is, just how much of a spike is too much? If I hit 250 15-20 minutes after eating but it's back at 165 after an hour is this "normal"? : I have been managing early onset T2 for several years now with D&E. : Morning sugars : are in the range of 104-126, with 112 or so being an average (I'd : guess).

Spiking at over 200 at any time is too high for me. I have not systematically tested every 15 mins, like you, but if my 1 hour is over 140 I cut back on the probable offender next time I eat it or drop it from my diet. You FBGs are also high for my Endocrinologist's standards. He wants me below 110 in the morning and I like to be below 100, but don't panic if between 1100 adn 110.

While it may be normal for an out-of-control diabetic it is not desirable for you.
