Can Hives be anything to do with BS levels ?

[trueblue]

I just wondered as I can find no common cause to why I get them from time to time. I have looked it up online but saw no immediate link between BS levels and hives. I dont get them very often (in fact maybe once or twice a yr) and they will go as soon as I take some anti- H. but for the life of me I cant figure out what is causing them??

A couple of times its been brought on by eating something,, usually within 30mins of eating,,,however I have then gone back on another day and eaten the same thing and be completely fine??

The last two times it has happened about 3 hrs after swimming in the mornings and not eating ,, and yet I go swimming fairly regular and have no problem most of the time so I cant see how it could be the chlorine. If it was the exercise then why also dont I get it when at the gym or after or during running? I do admittedly feel more flushed after swimming but again this would not account for the times its happened when I have been out for a meal?

Has really got me confused.com,,, so has anyone else on here encountered it

I am Pre D and I'm not on any meds by the way

My thoughts are it is to do with the swimming pool water if it only happens after swimming.

It took me a long time to find out why I got hives,and discovered it was eggs,Im ok with a limited number,I have four a week,any more than that I get hives,this was before I had diabetes

The last couple of times was after swimming but have had it twice after going out for meals and once on a night out where we stopped for a subway,, have had the exact same sub since and never happened.

Guess it is just one of those things then. Went to GP after a really bad attack a year or two back where it flared up so bad I had to go to casualty ,, doc sent me to allergy specialist who just said as I can eat the same thing on any other occasion and it dont happen then its not an allergy and nothing she could do.
