Here is me, also butting in. I think you need to give yourself more days free of testing. It is a strange phenomenon - The more you self test (anything like BS or BP), tends to cause the results up. I think it is something to do with subconscious worry. Also you become fixated and it becomes a big problem.You're not butting in at all. You are quite right, I am a worrier by nature. Getting high numbers is stressful when you feel you are doing all the right things. It is a stressful time at the moment and I know that can raise blood sugars, but it's not knowing if that is the reason, or if something else is going on. I'll take your advice, but probably will test more than once, maybe 3 times a day for a week. I suppose I have nothing to lose, and if it works it will be worth it. Thank you for your advice. Take care
When I was only on medication - three meds at max doses eventually, I would measure fairly randomly, just a few times a week and/or when I felt unwell.
Sadly, I am now on insulin after exhausting all possibilities for oral medication. But then I have rather bad genetic inheritance.
Don't worry about your sister, my husband had basal cell carcinoma. He has a micro-surgery, it took long time over the course of a day, not all the time in surgery and with local anaesthetic. Now he is fine and everything healed fine. This is a benign type carcinoma and doesn't spread.
Wish you the best.
