However, spikes throughout the day are also a real problem too.If you can figure out a pattern, you get a roadmap of behaviors or foods to abstain from which is really personalized from diabetic to diabetic.Ditto. The first week after my dad passed away, I couldn't get a morning fast reading under 170, and I wasn't really eating much, so I know it wasn't the food. My mother-in-law (who internalizes a lot of her stress) was clocking in at 500 after her best friend's funeral.It's funny, these things are simple no-brainers--eat healthy and not too much, exercise regularly, reducing stress-- but until someone tells you have a lifelong condition that could shorten your life, it's not really important.Not haha funny, but appreciating the nature of the beast funny. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-Suzi</blockquote>
