So I did something stupid and believed my own hype. I Saw a Rheumatlogist yesterday who congratulated me in weight loss and HB1AC reduction and said I should give myself credit and gave me the all clear . So today I stupidly had 2 x Bacon roll, hash brown and a Sugar Doughnut ( all from McDonalds). My Goodness...... My Blood sugar spiked to 16.4% ( all time high since I have been testing) and a headache come on. I live next to a hospital so decided to walk to AE as google says that anything greater than 14 is an emergency? Is this correct? As I was walking my HR raced to the 140's and I started to panic and walk faster.
I then waited for the onsite Diabetes nurse and tested again and it went down to 10 in around 5 minutes of arriving, and felt a bt silly. but I guess that this was due to the intense 10 minute walk. However, It then rose again to around 12,13 and 14.1 about an hour 15 mins later as the food digested. After the 3 mark is started to normalise and now sits at around 4.9% as I am too scared to eat anything.
My Blood sugars have averaged 6.0 the last 6- 8 weeks, and this must have been the first injection of a legitimate fast food and dessert, hence the spike.
It begs the question as to how my body has coped with being averaging 96 HBA1C/ 11 MMOL! I never felt this bad then when I was eating and drinking way more sugar than I do today. Does anyone know why?
Also - aside from Insulin and not eating junk, is there anything I can do in the event of a spike like that. Walking was an interesting and surprising tool....ive heard Vinegar can be good to?
Finally - Does this mean that I will never be able to eat McDonalds ever again?
