[QUOTE="Hopeful34, post: 2697598, member: 378858"] Sorry you had such a scary experience [USER=587811]@Cathy Cally[/USER] If the 26.7 was a blood test, it could have been a 'bad' test strip or something on your fingers. It's always best to wash your hands and do another test if you get a number you're not expecting or your symptoms don't match the results. If it was from a cgm, they're only reliable between 3.9 and 10. When your bloods go higher or lower than that, the cgm will often read higher or lower than your actual level, so need to be checked with a blood test. The exercise will have affected your blood sugar - this can happen for about 24 hours for some people, but we're all different. Was the 26.7 before you ate, or some time later? Just wondering about insulin that was still working?? Were the 3 units of Novorapid a correction dose or for your meal? As you're newly diagnosed your pancreas will still be producing some insulin, so could have given you some. Sorry for all the questions! [/QUOTE]
