Hi I am sixty year old with Type 2 Diabetes. In the last day or so my blood sugar (which I have normally maintained good control over) have almost doubled whether fasting or after reading . Please advise
 
How high are you rising?
The reason why blood glucose levels sharply rise can be what you have ate, if you have missed medication and ate. Strenuous exercise, and possibly not eating regularly enough and your liver 'dumps' some glucagon.

If you have a monitor, I would check regularly today just to see how high you get before and two hours after.

Stress and worry amongst other things can rise blood glucose levels but not sharply!
 
have you just opened a new box of test strips .. could you be getting rouge readings .. do you have a second meter to cross check with .. or go down to your local chemist who should be able to do a finger prick test .. just see if it matches your meter..
(I have retired one of my code free meters as its reading off the scale when I am only around the 4.6 mark )
