Help - Unusually High Readings. Type 2

Hi, hoping for some insight and advice.

Type 2, taking Metformin and Glicozide and was doing really well (last blood reading 47 HbA1c) but since then my readings have been higher than usual - nothing really has much changed, cycling a bit every day, diet low carb but am losing weight yet my readings have gone from the 5 -6s up to now 15 in the morning... time to visit nurse Diesel, I mean the diabetic nurse?

Thanks for the replies, I have been ill but feel better. Getting back to old grumpiness, dry mouth.. hmmm, perhaps eating too much rye bread and fruit, will adjust and see what happens, then off to the doc / nurse. I sorta assumed things would be rather predictable after a while and not jump around like technology share price especially after stella blood reading

LOL. yes my ears accurately reflect sugar levels

Well, my beloved diabeps (may I call us that?) I sat myself down and remembered I had my first NHS steampunk wind-up meter and I thought, well, for the cost of a test strip, lets wheel it out and set it up on its tripod and give it a go and blow me down with a test strip, I was seeing the comfy warm glow of a relatively normal, mediocre, lets not panic reading from the NHS humming tube transistors

So I sat down again to contemplate this news.

And thought some more.

Then looked at the Codefree manual (I can read now again) and soaked up the wisdom therein contained amidst some of the rather dubious S Korean translation... and erm, put cap back on test strips,, erm.. okay, you mean they don't like grilled aubagine n saussage smoke?.. oh, they go off... ah.. have to keep them fresh... okaaaay.. and have a sell by date.... u-huh, really... and you need to test the meter with a control solution every Wednesday at 3:97 am... yeh yeh yeh, okay got message, Yeknod's test strip and meter control procedures are a little bit lax but...

So, in my book of lessons learned.. use another device to check iffy results, keep strips nice n fresh, cap on, dispose if out of date, regularly test meter

2. Pick out thickest slice of German pre-cut rye bread, toast and slather liberally with sugar free peanut butter right up to the edges
3. Entertain notion grumpiness is quite possibly entirely psychological independent of blood sugar level
4. Order test solution from Ebay for walk down to Argos to wait a long time before someone notices I have been standing at the collection point for 20 minutes before a young youth turns up with a whisp of facial hair, don;t complain Yeknod, its all good exercise and the scales say I'm now in to the 92 kilos... hurrrraaaah!.. bet that needs freakin' control solution test.

BAH!
