If you have been feeling sickly then that may well be the explanation.

We often get raised bgs if we are ill (colds or viruses, stomach upsets, bugs, infections...) so maybe your body is busy fighting something off, or you are coming down with something...

Hi pollyg3, sorry to hear your having some strange readings. As previously posted you could be fighting some type of virus or something. After 25yrs type 1 and a Dafne course and a wealth of personal experience I still have episodes of unexplained high readings . I tend not to worry so much nowadays, the stress and worry doesn't help at all and everything goes back to normal in a day or so and as hard as I try I can't find a reason for the high readings. Only if the sugars stay high for 3 days do I start to change things around with my insulin to carb ratios. This isn't the advice everyone will give but it works for me and saves the stress and I can get on with life. Good luck I think a lot of us have these times.
