High

[portok]

This evening after controling my bloodsugar i discovered that i had 379mg. I`m scared because it`s the first time after beeing dxd that i have this value. I really don`t have any explanation for this considering that my bloodsugar values were great till now. My doctor told me to take an extra rapide insulin and to cheek again in 2 hours, but she was also curios about why this happened.
Did anyone experienced this kind of really unexplained highs and if so what was the solution to be ok again?
Thanks

Sometimes it happens. Maybe the insulin was no good, maybe you had a bad site for the needle. Maybe the moon was full instead of being only half! :) You never know. Just always make sure to pay attention and act quickly to take care of high and low sugar.

Arch is almost correct. It's actually the effect of phases of the moons of Saturn and their tidal pull on your blood that gives extraordinary readings like that. ROTFL

Seriously,portok, if you find out what caused it, please Post Instantly!! Then we'll all know what causes this phenomenon. It's just one of the aspects of "Joyous Diabetes" or "Diabète Joyeux" for our friends north and also east-northeast of the U.S.

Kinda like that bumper sticker you see in Texas a lot "Stuf Happens" {or words that that effect}

yup, I have this happen sometimes and I just take an extra dose of Humalog and go on... not much we can do about it.

That happens sometimes and when it does it leaves me baffled. Now I just figure...oh well it is coming down...

Oh yes...Been there, Done that! :) It's not fun, but I agree with the others. You just sometimes have to shrug it off, and try to move on...that is, as long as you treat it and make sure it's on it's way down. I' m not really one to advise others, when it happens to me I want to know WHY. I'm kind of obsessive about figuring out what's going on, but sometimes there's no clear explanation and you just have to accept that.

I hope those numbers come down soon for you!

Take care :)

Actually, Razr, I found a great article about this very subject. It's not Saturn's moons at all. An indepth study was conducted by NASA and the Russian Space Administration and they discovered that it all stems from a few rogue moons that hover and wobble about Uranus! ;)

I have been charting pretty intensively lately, with nice colors and lines, even pies and bars on the charts. Someone out there likes curved lines and multicolored pie charts. It is the law of large numbers in full effect that causes my problem. Add to that those things around Saturn and Uranus and 2005 is going to be a bumpy year :eek:

I think it's the precise alignment of the planets and the fact that high tide occured at 7:51 this morning rather than 7:52. :smartass:

It happens to me too. I think maybe the insulin isn't absorbed properly at the injection site or perhaps something causes your suger to go up but I don't really know why it happens ant that is just a guess.

I have to share this... a good friend of mines daughter was dxd with type 1 about a year or two after me... well yesterday morning they found her unresponsive and on the floor... they took her to the hospital and found that her BS was near 1000 (997 or something)... she was then careflighted to Childrens Medical Center here in Dallas... and it took them all day to get her sugar down... she was still 'out of it' lastnight but closer to being stable...

cause? no one knows.. yet...

Diabète joyeux? Oh! That's not exactly what I call it in French... :-

Grumpee, That must be terrible. I was 788 at dx, with all the classic symptoms. Since then maybe a couple of 400's, but I have seen 200's in a short period of time if I missed bolus. Keep us posted, we'll keep you and her in our prayers.

[Clint]

I will update here when I get an update today...

[Clint]

Here is an update I just got -
She woke up at 6:00 this morning and responded to her mother. That is great news! Her pH level is coming up slowly and her bloodsugar is holding at 280. She is not out of the woods, but is improving.

I forgot to mention she is 13...

[Brent44a]

Thanks for the update. Hopefully she will come back fully soon.

[Clint]

np... ya, this spooked my wife thinking something like this *could* happen to me...

[portok]

Thank you all for your responses.
Grumpee i`m sorry to hear about your friend`s daughter and i hope she will recover soon.
My booldsugar was 278mg after 2 hours and a 4 units shot of rapid insulin and then after another 4 units and 2 hours was 69mg (i think i took to much just to be sure). But after this period all came back to normal so i`m ok now.

I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR and let`s hope that soon we will talk about how we have beaten diabetes.

I forgot to update you all on my friends daughter - She went home on the first but is still not back to 100%.. her sugars have stablized, now she just needs rest...
