Obviously I DO NOT like this alliebee......makes me concerned for you, glad you are on the ball at seeking advice, make sure you keep us all here posted on how you are ( makes me feel very silly not liking yesterday's 5.4)

 

[alliebee]

Thankyou Kim. Have paged my friend just waiting for his call back...it has stopped rising now. Just static its just so weird??

 

[beatdise]

Yes Alliebee you are a LEGEND if you don't know get medical advice pronto!

I don't suppose you have any strips from a different batch (i.e. batch number), or even a different meter (and strips obviously)? Unfortunately, now you've triggered all that lovely adrenalin, that won't be helping matters. Although, it shouldn't put you right up into the teens.

As you have ketone strips, would it be worth a quick stab onto one of those, just to see what impact there might be here?

Sorry, that last bit is really an "as a matter of interest" suggestion, rather than anything helpful.

Hi I've opened a new pot so not the strips. I have keytones anyway from my v low carb diet ..so that's not much help...weierdly I feel fine...its a mystery. Someone must have dumped 4 spoons of sugar in my tea. But I think I would have noticed! Lol. Thanks everyone for your concern

5.0 this morning. 6.8 last night after a wonderful Mediterranean salad dinner at Hilton T5 even had a Chocolate Eclair.

Probably a lot is down to the disturbed sleep, but exercise will help, if you can do any walking around, or up and down stairs, really the most you can manage to use some of the glucose up.

Hope you are ok. I assume you've done obvious things like change the meter battery as my BP monitor goes berserk when it's fading?

5.5 for me today.

Ahhhh. No stupidly I didn't think of that. Thankyou. Off to do just that now.

@alliebee How very scary. I hope it is just a meter blip of some sort, or even your new pot of strips not quite right.

@alliebee
You are on Forgazia as I recall and this works by eliminating sugar through the kidneys.

Could it be early sign of urinary truck infection and you are not symptomatic yet other than the elevated sugars.

A complete guess but thought I would mention it, as something to have in mind.

Ok its a sticking plaster solution but my dr friend advises a shot of fast acting insulin ( I have some in the fridge in date from when I was on insulin earlier in the year). I came off it after my initial weight loss.....so I'm duly carrying 10 units novorapid. And monitor for rest of the day. And basically see what happens. Not v happy about it. But needs must...

Normally id do this. But I'm not very mobile with mutiple sclerosis. Thankyou though. Great advice

Opened 3 pots so its pretty accurate. Its so strange?
