I'm not a doctor, but I believe the best way to treat your body is not to have big swings in values in glucose. If your glucose is 70 and you spike it up to 150 every day, I believe it's just a lot of stress on your body's endocrine system.

Someone can definitely chime in and correct me though.

You not only get the downside of high glucose levels from the spike, but you get the downside of the insulin your body produced in response (or you injected because you're diabetic) kicking in as the spike falls on it's own, making it crash even further.

Spiking and recovering is probably better than consistently elevated for insulin sensitivity reasons.

Having big swings in your heart rate daily is healthy.
