Nerve damage can begin to occur at 150 BG...at any time.

You said yours is "more than the normal 140" well what is it usually?

If your numbers are around 140 this is not considered diabetic, expecially because it comes back down at the 2 hour mark, according to DOCTORS.

However, If you are having numbers that go about or even at 150 I would consider yourself at huge risk to developing diabetes and would monitor and change your diet and if you can exercise even a moderate daily walk helps bring numbers down.

You didn't really say exactly what your numbers are so its hard to say, but for me, the minute I learned the above info I changed my lifestyle, if not, its a disaster waiting to happen later. Better to catch it now what when it's too late.

Yes, nerve damage can occur at consistantly high or swinging low numbers. It is best to keep it consistant. Your doctor wont care until its too late but if you PN you should be concerned at anything above 150.

Yes, doctors don't care about the 1 hour mark. They also don't care if you get a BG of 150. They dont care until you already HAVE diabetes. Research definately shows how nerves can be damaged at 150.
