[QUOTE="Lizzie7, post: 113141, member: 21772"] Hi Ben, Your GP is your best bet but you may wish to call NHS 24 or your diabetic nurse, particularly if you feel unwell. I was told to do this if my sugars went over 16 at anytime. I think this is because they are watching for slow developing type 1 in my case. Other factors might be: - Do you have any infections at the moment? A bad tooth (which may not hurt yet) can cause huge, increases in blood sugar. Also check for any infected cuts, sores, abscesses etc anywhere on your body. - Check your meter is functioning properly, particularly if it's been exposed to this freezing weather. - Check you're not eating or drinking the sugary version of a something you intend to be sugar free (sounds strange but I bought Fanta instead of Fanta zero one week and didn't notice as the packaging is similar!) - Take a close look at your diet and keep a detailed note of food intake and bg levels. This will help your GP. xx [/QUOTE]
