Hello Everyone
I was wondering if some of you could post your highest blood sugar levels.
Over the past month I have had readings off the scale (H1 - on my meter) Have just started on glicazide and a low carb diet - and things are improving. 16.3 on last reading
Thanks
Gill

30 - sorry to brag

But I was (last year) very ill for a month, with coma-like naps for 4-6 hrs per day and
constant blue urine sticks - ketosis; very tired and constantly drinking water and voiding; this was after my 6-month flu and bronchitis, but i should *note* that i also had the same symptoms on a smaller scale for quite a few years prior to this; i hope chronic diabetes did not do too much damage - don't know if it did; with the meds i am fine now, average of 6.2 every 3 mos.

Hello Everyone
I had to go to A&E last Sunday and yes I had a long wait but there was a problem with referral. When they sorted that out - they were marvellous. Had me hooked up in minutes.
I sometimes knock it - but I thank heaven for the NHS

Looks very thorough -- here in our province in Canada we call 911
for an Ambulance to be taken to the ER (Emergency Room) where
you can wait indefinitely but get super care by the Triad Nurse
I'd be quite upset if I got a nurse who was a Triad

33.6 at diagnosis with ketones on the top mark.
Didn't actually feel unwell just very very thirsty.
GP's eyes were out and stalks and sent me straight to A&E

Highest since was 16 or 17 I think but I was a tad sick at the time so not unexpected.

45 on diagnosis here. Had some blood tests in the afternoon and was told to ring up for the results in a week or so. Was phoned that evening by the hospital and told to come straight in. When I asked if it could wait till morning as the kids were in bed I was told in no uncertain terms I was to come NOW and get someone else to drive!
