Why do you need to have your HbA1c below 69 before you can have the hysterectomy?

Hey don't panic ! It's a blip, we all have them, some of us more than others. Providing you had the right amount of quick acting then it's probably down to one of many things - hormones, stress, infection, otherwise check your site for injection and check your insulin hasn't gone off, otherwise just be easy on yourself, no point getting stressed it will come right

It could be a one off or, if it happens for the next couple of mornings, it could indicate you need to increase your basal.

the gynie surgeons have said they will not operate unless it's 69 or below, he first told me I wouldn't come out the other side! my d.consultant was amazed and told me that was complete and utter rubbish, it's because of possible infection which has a dramatic effect on b/s levels. that's what I have been told.

I am insulin sensitive and would only make small increases to prevent me going hypo. 13 units of basal insulin is quite low so maybe you are also insulin sensitive.

I guess that's fair enough. If your BG levels are high, then wound healing would be affected, and there is greater risk of a serious infection like sepsis, for example. It's better to reduce that risk, for sure.

i'm sorry but I don't know what that means insulin sensitive, bit of a thicko when it comes to new things I don't understand,lol

Don't do anything on the back of one mornings readings, see what your bg levels are like tomorrow and try and do a 2-3am bg check to see which way your bg levels are heading.
