If in doubt, call 111 for advice, that's what they're there for!Help, is this normal. My mouth feels very dry
Pizza has a distinctly ‘interesting’ impact on blood sugars. Combinations of fats and carbs seem the perfect way to boost blood sugars. I have similar spikes with pizza and similar, like pastry and fish and chips but nowhere near the level you had, however there is a question also as to what it was before you had the pizza?I'm not on medication, and I'm sure this doesn't normally happened. When I checked at 6.30 it was down at 14 so it must be the pizza. I'm type 2 and is isn't usually this high
What sort of cereal?I'm usually quite low. I had a small bowl of cereal at about 12 so now it's gone up again like it always seems to when I have cereal. I'm not feeling bad or anything. I usually have great control of my sugar. I was diagnosed in 2013 when I did have ketoacidosis and my sugar was above 40. I have pizza usually on a Saturday but I don't check my sugar just happened to do it yesterday
What sort of cereal?
Generally high carb so that could also be expected to cause a rise. Unfortunately I have found there ate no things as good carbs. whether a potato, cereal, chocolate or fruit… it all works in similar ways, the only difference i find is how long the spike is maintained, and thats where as i said, fatty carby foods are a longer and more sustained impact
That sounds like a solid plan. Stress won’t help and can make levels worse too. That rise with chicken and veg sounds a bit high but depends on what was had. Did you have any starchy veg like potatoes, parsnips etc?At about 5 it went down to 8 however after my tea (chicken and veg) it is now 12.5 3 hours later. I think I'm just getting anxious about it so it's making me stressed and worried. I'll speak to my doctor tomorrow
I had some potato slices with itThat sounds like a solid plan. Stress won’t help and can make levels worse too. That rise with chicken and veg sounds a bit high but depends on what was had. Did you have any starchy veg like potatoes, parsnips etc?
getting control is good. You have had sone warning signs with the levels so it’s a good opportunity just to have a look and see if you have some changes you can make and get a general check over to make sure it’s all on track
Woke up this morning on 12.2. I'm not sure what to do as this is really stressing me out now
