It's Christmas day just done my above reading what should I do. They are normally around the 8 mark
You could be right didn't think may be after testing again if it's not come down drink plenty of water then give it a while test yet again if situation not altered call 111 and ask for advice.I thought it was dangerous to exercise with levels over 14mmol?
I realise everyone is different and experiences hypers differently but if I had a bg of 26.5 getting off the sofa and walking to the bathroom would feel strenuous to me and I'd have awful chest pains. If I'm over 14mmol I take a correction dose and try to relax. It may not be the right thing to do but it works for me personally and i feel saferYes, I've certainly be advised not to exercise when hyper, as strenuous activity might just send you higher. But I wouldn't have thought walking round the block or up and down the stairs quite counts as strenuous.
How do you treat your diabetes @Bergkamp777 ? Are you experiencing any troubling symptoms from hyperglycaemia? Remember 111 is available for advice on what to do if you are concerned - they will be around even on Christmas Day / boxing day.
Ah I see. Thanks for explaining I didn't realise that@samantha13 The difference is your muscles as a T1 are generally alive and awake to glucose and insulin. A T2s aren't until they start to use them so the OP really does need to go for a walk or go up and down the stairs but not too strenuous or you are correct that the levels can go up still. Hopefully @Bergkamp777 will be back to more normal levels this morning.
