[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2505731, member: 196898"] You may be seeing meter misreads. If you get a frightening result it is best to repeat the test just to confirm it is a real reading. also make sure your sample site is clean and dry before taking the blood sample. Your other readings seem to be quite benign, but the 17 is an anomoly and was possibly rogue. It does happen sometimes. You say your readings became more normal quite quickly after that 17, which is unusual if you were unmedicated (say with insulin ) at the hospital. As said above, stress increases cortisol and this reduces the insulin ability to store glucose away and can lead to higher readings, but would not explain IMO such a large jump suddenly. Neither would heart palpitations by themselves. did they administer any adrenaline while your heart was playing up? just a thought. [/QUOTE]
