my sugar levels are 29.4

hi donna,

do you have a cold or the flu at the moment?
do you have an infection anywhere on your body that you know of?
are you under any kind of stress at the moment?
have you been a lot less physically active than normal recently?
have you recently started taking any medication which you've not previously used with insulin?
are you pregnant?
have you been rotating your injection sites?
is your insulin still within it's use by date?
have you been keeping your insulin at the correct temperature?

any of the above could be the reason for the highs.
you may also have noticed that your control is worse around the time of your period so
bear in mind that any problems happening at the same time may have an exaggerated
effect on your sugar levels.
It's best if you contact your diabetes specialist if you have one. or your GP if not.

all the best.

Hi donnamichelle
I am a new member and have type two diabetes. Just wanted to wish you good luck in your quest to find help.
Although I am type 2 I am suffering from stress and my levels are 'sky high'. This does not help!
good luck anyway.

Hello there

I had a similar problem a while ago... Where my sugars would spike and I would bring them down and they would spike again... What the others are saying is true, but the other question I might ask is have you talked to your doctors? Cause sometimes we still have some functioning in our pancreas and that can lower, then we need to change the amount of insulin we taking in order to make up for the lost use of our pancreas! So anyway another nteresting fact that my friend taught me... (she has been diabetic for 11 years now) Is that if you are trying to bring down your levels you do not want to do this too fast, so use small doses of insulin, then when you are at a relativly good level then eat a protien a this will help stabalize your level. The other thing is test your moniter make sure it working right! The last thing is do not try to bring yourself down too fast as this could not only result in being to low but it maybe hard to bring yourself up because the body keeps eatting any sugar you put in it! So be careful and good luck!!
