Welcome, and well done on being diet controlled.im a type 2 diet controlled and lately since being under immense stress my levels have gone from 5.8 to a reading of 13.9, only some days but recently I have had over 5 readings in the above 10? Is it something I'm eating or not? Very worried

Stress can increase blood glucose (BG) levels for sure, so can infection. Are we talking about fasting BGs, and have they been in the 5s for a long time and went up suddenly? It could be due to several factors and the key thing will be look for trends rather than individual results. I would say, if they are still up this high after another week, then make an appointment with your doctor or nurse to find out what's going on. And if you develop symptoms suggesting an infection then make an appointment straight away.
Have you made big changes in what you are eating recently?

Had many blood test which show an outoimmune disease but no sign of infection. Testing for dermoytosists, perineal vascular and or lupus.... Have symptoms that can be any of the 3.

I think your doctor is not quite right, I worry if the number is over 8. But don't worry, because over the next week or so I think you and your doctor will be able to get those levels back down somehow. It's just a case of figuring out what is causing the increase.No changes in diet at all!. Only stress has increased have had 11 high readings for me.

I think inflammation could raise BGs like infection does, and maybe one of those 3 conditions could be doing it. I don't know much about the first two but I know lupus can be very hard to diagnose. And it flares up from time to time so that could explain the sudden increase in BGs. It's also made worse by stress. I think you should see your doctor about these high BGs. If they don't start coming down of their own accord then your doctor may need to consider medication to help.Had many blood test which show an outoimmune disease but no sign of infection.
