I have only been testing blood sugars for a matter of weeks to get a hand on some rather "high but not diabetic level yet ( well except for the odd one) blood sugars :crazy: so am still getting quite a variation.
Some things really surprise me.... like cider hardly affecting level at all but an apparently innocent fish pie, veg and half a pineapple getting me up to 12.8 :shock: :shock: :shock:
but although I had read that illness can put up BG I did not realise quite so much.
I had a night of vomitting christmas day night and the following day ate nothing, just sipped water.
This morning I had one banana........ and BG shot up to 8.5 . Not much in the great scheme of things but when a "normal" reading is not supposed to go above 7.8 it seems like quite high.
I know its probably the clever body pretecting me from starving and dumping glucose to keep me going...... just did not expect it to be so high :eh:
