not sure what to say, mine dont go that high, maybe keep taking it till it comes down, and rest till it does, and of course ring NHS direct if your really worried.
hope someone else comes along soon with better advice x

Tracey, have you checked your meter is functioning correctly? check the test strjps are in date run a test using the control solution.
Are you coming down with something like a bug or virus? Do keep drinking plenty, a pint of water every hour then test again in a couple of hours.
If things dont improve its time to call the HCPs.
Be safe.

I think what Bowell meant was that if you got the coke from a pub, it's usually from a pump straight into the glass, if the staf pressed the wrong button you could of got the full whack sugar coke. But, good to hear it's coming down & depending what part of Kent you're from Herne Bay hospital at top of Mickleburgh Hill are where the out of hours doctors are based (candoc I think it's still called)

This can be so frustrating and the reason why I don't drink Coke from a pump, there's been stories on the forum before where full sugar coke has been attached to the diet coke line, I order cans or bottles with a glass.

Did you forget to inject? I have done that sometimes, and then have an "unexplained" level of 18 or more, and then when I track it back I realise I've forgotten to. It happens sometimes.
