Gosh, absolutely no apology needed, @SueNSW - it's just I've spent the last several decades trying trying trying to be the 'good girl' I only was only ever considered to be when my blood sugar was in range! As a child I knew what 'good girl' meant - but always had great difficulty in relating it to my diabetes, because as far as I could tell, I hadn't ever been a 'naughty girl' to make my blood sugar high. But that's the message I was always given. I know at my advanced age I should be over this by now!@Snapsy - sorry it was said sort of tongue in cheek - but I've been on the receiving end of what seemed like a verbal smacked bottom for a few things I consider a bit "naughty but nice" - like shock horror - drinking alcohol while taking Metformin!!!!
Hope I'm forgiven
Given your username, I'm confident you know what you're talking aboutI'd advise against the shivering in ice though.
There was a recent news story in either The Independent or Telegraph that said that shivering was good for blood glucose. I checked the studies being referred to and they stated low temperatures but above a shivering level. So lack of care in the reporting by whichever of those newspapers it was.
Shivering temperature could raise risk of hypothermia so I'd personally say to avoid this.
Keep doing the right things and your sugars will come back down over the next few days.
Use these high levels as a constructive lesson learned.
Take care
