I'm not going to change my life because a number goes above 200 for 30 minutes. In the long run that isn't going to cause any complications by itself whereas the waiting an hour to bring the BG down because I don't want a correction and food bolus at the same time is going to cause more harm, probably in the area of depression and/or stress.
I see alot on here that say diabetes is stressful....in my opinion it only is if you make it stressful. 26 years of it here and I don't let a random high bother me or a low stop me. I correct and get on with my life.
