- Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Yesterday before lunch I recorded a normal (for me ) bg level, and after my usual lunch I had to drive my son to Stanstead Airport a round trip that saw me behind the wheel of my car for about a 2 1/2 hour relatively stress free drive.
Later in the afternnoon I had to call the BT helpline about a broadband problem resulting in 4 calls lasting nearly 2 hours which left me at the end of my tether almost screaming at the unhelpful idiots employed by BT :evil: , if you have ever had to call the BT helpdesk I am sure you will know what I mean. :lol:
Anyway my pre diner bg level was 2 points higher than I was expecting, not a huge problem but in general my readings are fairly stable.
So I am entrigued what it was that pushed up my levels.
1.Would a long but stress free drive push them up?
2. Can losing your composure/temper push them up? I suspect this was the culprit and will try to chill when dealing with helplines in the future.
Any thoughts?
