VERY upset at these reading lately..

I have no reason why this is happening. 2 hrs after lunch I am at 150! Unbelievably high, I am usually at 75-90. I did not eat anything extra or anything different. I corrected with a few units of humalog and an hour later, its still going up at 170. I corrected mildly again and about to jump for my wkout... Very frustrated at this. :mad:

How's the Basal dosage/readings doing?

Sometimes that's an indicator that I need to up my basal amount.

Try to calm down, if you can :o. I know it's never that pleasant when you get a reading that is totally unexpected, but one slightly elevated reading isn't going to kill you. It could be due from a variety of factors from a simple infection to stress, don't knock yourself trying to figure it out. It's not worth the aggravation, trust me. I've been there :rolleyes: . Hopefully, your workout will help (and at the very least relieve some stress) and you will have better readings.

Hang in there :)

I know I know... I just feel as if I want it to go so pefect before I see my new endo, but thre really is so much I can do. My readings were SO good last week,
I was waking up to 90-110,
after breakfast I was 50-76,
befire lunch: 100-60,
2 hrs after lunch 75-90,
I work out and be 70-130
2 hrs later less than 100
I go to bed at about 76 to 80's.. Lantus is calling and so is a pump....
Im thinking my UTI is probably back.... I dunno.....
Its just so overwhelming, you would swear I was newly diagnosed,, LOL

You guys, as always, are AWESOME!

Stress can also be a contributor of B/G swings

Scarrrryyyyy

Thought I'd share this with your guys, last night I had a scary experience. I think I have never been this low. It was almost 10 PM and I had just had a snack, about 10 min. later I checked my level and I could not believe my eyes, I was 28!!! Only thing I felt was giggly and delirious. A VERY SCARY FEELING! I gradually got up to 88. I done ever recall being that low and all I felt was real giggly, sort of the feeling of Euphoria... Today my feelings have been much more stabilized. Was this the lack of energy reaching my brain?

cinnibon, I asked my diabetic nurse what were the concequences were to high b/s and low. She said the lows destroy brain cells. She didn't say how fast or to what degree but it's definatly scary. Glad to hear you recoved ok.

That is my biggest fear.. the consequences of lows and highs. Thank you, it was real scary. Im my entire 22 years of being daibetic, I have NEVER seen the inside of an ER for those reasons.
