Cheers again gals. I would have to get my diabetes monitor thingie checked out - possibly recalibrated - if I was to use it again. It's been four years since it was last used!

For the record, I'm not a coke drinker but it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think "sugar hit" Then again, we bought a caramel cheesecake last Sat for adults to eat at our son's 4th b'day party. I reckon that was the biggest sugar hit I've had in months. Delicious ... but oh, so sweet!!

Thanks for putting the quantity of glucose into perspective L&B. I'm sure I'll be doing the GTT (if I do it) given my past history with GD.
