I went hyper on a shift today and it was serious. Short staffed and busy so I wasn't paying attention. An act of a complete jerk led to a full on detination. I blasted the daylights out of 5 people before the situation was resolved. A good friend drew me away from the crew and made me test my bgl's. Almost off the scale!! HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN!!!

I know I am not in a calm state of mind even now after nearly 5 hours after the shift. The levels have dropped to 9.3, but I am furious that this happened.
 
Define off the scale.

Too high for the glucose meter to read.

Blimey. Back when I was having steroids as part of chemo treatment I would go up to high 20s of low 30s. Didn't really feel anything different. Not sure how high a meter goes. Is this a regular thing for you and how do you recognize it?
 
OMG what an awful thing. I hope those 5 people were OK?

Any idea what caused the hyper now you've had chance to think about it?
 
My husband really struggles with anger when he is hyper

Hope you feel better soon. Do you have any idea why your BG was so high?
