| | | It may be that you are getting sick, and your blood sugar reflects it before you start having noticeable symptoms.
Keep a close check on your blood sugars, and if the trend continues, get in touch with your doctor.

That's just plain spooky.

| | | I think Linda's onto something . . . you may be fighting off a bug that hasn't made its presence fully known otherwise. Will keep you lifted . . . you don't need any more cr-ap to complicate matters! (((Georgia)))
(it's sure good to have you back!)

| | | Are you using a new tub of strips? Could your strips have been exposed to heat/cold/moisture and not be accurate. Do you have a new batch you could open and try and see if you get the same results?

Diabetes is progressive, and you could have had a liver dump. That happens to me every morning. I have to bolus in the morning with my coffee. If I don't I can go from an 89 reading to a 260 reading in just 2-hours........With me it depends on what I ate the night before also. If I had more than 15g of carb with dinner I dump worse in the morning...it is all very confusing and personally I am tired of it and going to see what the doc can do about it.

| | | I find the day before I get sick my numbers tend to rise. Also I spike when I exercise or when I don't get enough food. I never feel like eating when I get up and I have to force myself otherwise I will see a significant bg spike. You may want to change what you are eating. Today I had a bowl of stir fryed shiratake noodles with vegetables and was 104, 1 hour later. |

| | | I think many IDDs will aggree that our basal needs can fluctuate. I have unusually high numbers once in awhile myself that typically last most of the day. I do have lows too but rarely. |

I am totally ignorant to the pump so if this is a stupid question forgive me.

| | | How are things now?
I find that I can now forecast when I'm about to get a cold as about 2-3 days before the cold symptoms hit me I find my numbers run high. When the cold actually arrives my numbers return to normal levels.
As you mention no change in diet/excercise, have you changed shampoo, did you use perfume, it could be a contaminent on your hands. Last week end we went to a fancy dress party and I used red food coloring as fake blood, forgot to test beforehand and afterwards I could not get a proper reading, it was very hard to get food coloring off my hands.
