Hi,
Today I went to Alton Towers for the first time. I am hoping other diabetics can help me to understand the relationship between adrenalin and high sugar levels.
Ive had quite poor diabetes control and you may see from my other post that I struggle with mainly low blood sugar levels.
I went on quite a few of the very scary rides. Dont think ive ever been that scared before!!! I understand these sorts of things do cause the body to use adrenelin. I suffered some quite concerning highs after the rides. I wasnt eating so I can rule this out of the equation altogether.
Before the ride I was at 5.9 then 10 minutes after the first ride it had sky rocketed up to 28. :?
I'm not too concerned as I know it wont be a regular thing but I am interested to know why this would happen and has anyone else experienced this before?
Thank you
