OMG what even is that, I had a spike after breakfast rather than a drop like a brick from a great height! 🙂 woke up to a 4.9 history of past 2 days drop of 1.2mmol post breakfast, hypo'd at start of week due to not thinking, reduction of bolus to 1.5 units, post breakfast - 6.5, 4 hours later and pre lunch - 6.2, not as bad as I thought it would go that's for sure! x
 
Sorry - where's the spike? 4.9 to 6.5 is NOT a spike Kaylz - it's a very low post meal increase - absolutely fab and exactly what you and everyone else wants!

In an ideal world (you know - the one which only exists in the textbook) the post meal increase a T1 should try not to go beyond is 2.8 above the pre-meal level, providing the pre-meal level was good. Therefore, yours being 1.6, it's excellent!
 
Pretty much bang on target, with room to spare.
 
Would that I could do that well Kaylz.
Excellent post meal level.
 
I wish I had spikes like that. :(
 
I would gladly trade my spikes for those levels, which look pretty well perfect.
