[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1515635"] I have a friend here in Mallorca whose Blood sugar 4 months ago was 710mg/dl!! He is still alive and kicking well. Obviously, now on medications, and his A1C is down to a 6.7% also. I was unaware of high sugars time of my first testing last July 2016 it showed 206mg/dl! Not aware if that was good or bad, chemist informed "little high", also notified, the testing monitor had been playing up and not giving consistent levels that morning, Warning sign, be careful all of us, how reliable are the monitors, we may be worrying of a wrong result for nothing! Also, I had eaten for three days previous to a finger test, COCKTAIL of fruits. From Australia, always eating tropical fruits, I had indulged, breakfast, lunch and dinner, 6-7 fruits, mango, paw paw, strawberries, kiwi, banana, pineapple to name a few, thinking how healthy was my smoothie! Big surprise, it was a cocktail of SUGARS!. Morning of my first finger test, I had the same for breakfast. Whats the highest Blood sugar, and was the high result a case of self affliction in my case, along with possible Monitor inaccuracy as informed by the Chemist doing the test. My advice, if its high, double or triple check to save anxiety and worry. Mallorca [/QUOTE]
