Hi folks,
anyone notice any connection between hay fever and rising sugar levels. I'm normally reasonably well controlled (fasting always somewhere between 5-8 and after meals normally around 7-11 give or take). The last 3-4 days my hay fever has been horrendous and it my blood sugar has been through the roof (fasting readings or 17+ and after meals 20-24+). Can't remember the last time I had readings anywhere near these. I hadn't eaten anything outwith my normal diet. Today has been a bit better but still 10 fasting an higher after breakfast and lunch. I went for a run this afternoon without eating anything beforehand and managed to get it down to 7.4, but to be honest I was feeling a bit flakey - equivalent to how I normally feel when it drops to 3 or 4.
Its going in the right direction but I'm a bit concerned by at least 3 20+ readings within 48hrs. I'm taking a couple of anti histamine tablets each day (along with my usual 2 Janumet/Velmetia per day).
Anyone encounter similar issues or have any thoughts/advice?
thanks
