But you were unwell, and ill enough to have an ambulance involved: It was a stressful situation and that alone can raise blood sugars in anyone, not just diabetics. Your finger prick tests at home seem fine. Far as the lows go, a diabetic struggles with the highs. Lows only usually happen when we overshoot the mark with medication. There are conditions that can cause low blood glucose (like Reactive Hypoglycemia), but diabetes isn't usually one of them, not if you're unmedicated. Your HbA1c is still in the normal range, though edging toward prediabetic, but at the moment, not something to worry about overmuch. If you want to tackle things, cut the carbs some. Those turn to glucose when digested (not just sugars, but starches too!), so... If you want to do something, try that.You're going to be fine,Jo</blockquote>
