How high do finger pick test results have to be to mean something urgent needs to be done? Mine are very high atm due to stress (lots of coursework - not good at essays at all!), tired + thirsty etc. I assume it will not be so bad without the stress, so I don't really want to bother with going to doctor needlessly, but I assume at some level it becomes really dangerous, but no idea what that would be.
If your readings are outside the guideline figures for a T2 then you would need to do something to rectify the situation. Just how high are we looking at ?
9.9, about 3 and half hours after eating. I know from previous experience my blood sugar gets higher when I've got a lot of written coursework to do, due to the stress and poor/disturbed sleeping I think.
9.9 whilst highish is not massively higher than the maximum guideline figure of 8.5 mmol/l. As you say stress can play a part, but I would be more interested to know what your meal was ?
Just refreshed the page by mistake and lost my reply. oh well, was saying the meal included lots of junk carbohydates (some crisps and a white bread ciabatta) so that won't be helping. Good to know 9.9 isn't that high (well it is but you know what I mean?).
