Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrsA2" data-source="post: 2670243" data-attributes="member: 521715">[USER=552053]@Gargoyletaz[/USER] Please be kind and gentle to yourself this week.I too, am in a bereavement  situation, following a month of hospital visiting.  Even in the days when I kept very low carb my readings were generally 2 higher than usual. Those mornings when I woke with a jerk, immediately thinking about the situation my bg was instantly  up and stayed up even if I ate nothing at all.So although carby food is the main cause of high bg, it can be affected by all sorts of things  including things we can't control such as stress, anxiety, excitement, lack of sleep etc.I'd suggest you forget monitoring this week, or maybe just once or twice a day and just aim to eat mostly low carb. The odd comfort food might be just the comfort you need to get through. Just plan to get back on plan again as soon as possible. Breathe, be gentle and kind to yourself and all around you. Diabetes will be OK if it takes a lesser priority for a few days.</blockquote>
