Migraine and Elevated Blood Sugars

Yesterday at work I had a horrible headache, one of those where you get a pain behind one eye, also threw up. Haven't had a migraine for several years. Anyway, didn't do any glucose testing yesterday but today find my sugars are much higher than usual.

I tested before lunch, first reading 8.8, washed hands, 2nd reading 8, changed fingers 8.4. So def not a fluke. 90 mins after lunch, 8.4 (had to go out). 3 hours after lunch, still up at 7.7.

I've still got a slight headache today. Would my sugars be elevated because of migraine, or could the migraine be brought on by higher than normal sugars?

Thanks all,

Lesley

Where is everybody?

Hi @Lesleywo, I do get migraines but that is two days before my period, something to do with hormones/pms and usually goes away after that. Hopefully someone would be able to help you out, not too sure about blood sugars though

Thanks Adelle ... I haven't had one for quite some time. Just can't really explain the elevated sugars

PS. Elevated blood sugars may just be result of being violently ill yesterday. Attacks are very hard on the body.

Shame I didn't test yesterday to see if they were high then .. oh well, will see what happens tomorrow. Down to 6 now thank goodness.
