Hi I've opened a new pot so not the strips. I have keytones anyway from my v low carb diet ..so that's not much help...weierdly I feel fine...its a mystery. Someone must have dumped 4 spoons of sugar in my tea. But I think I would have noticed! Lol. Thanks everyone for your concern
You could be right no fever or even an elevated temp? Tested urine and no nitrates. ( I'm well stocked lol). Thankyou though@alliebee
You are on Forgazia as I recall and this works by eliminating sugar through the kidneys.
Could it be early sign of urinary truck infection and you are not symptomatic yet other than the elevated sugars.
A complete guess but thought I would mention it, as something to have in mind.

Normally id do this. But I'm not very mobile with mutiple sclerosis. Thankyou though. Great advice
Checked on 2 meters and 3 brand new pots of strips.....Is the new pot a second new pot, or do you mean the readings were from a new pot? (Sorry for the pedantry.) Do you have any strips from a different batch (number on the box)? Or, do you have another meter you have a few strips for? I must admit, I have a non-Codefree meter I keep for these sort of instances. I know the readings would be highly unlikely to absolutely match, but it's maybe a sense check potential.

Should have known better than to try and diagnose a nurse from half way round the planet. What was I thinking!You could be right no fever or even an elevated temp? Tested urine and no nitrates. ( I'm well stocked lol). Thankyou though
Thankyou. I'll monitor really carefully all day. Probably be hypo later. Meh. Just wish I knew what it was? I'm only taking the one dose. If it rises later I'll get myself off to get checked out...Without understanding what's happening, I would (personally) be wary of taking insulin. It feels like, if you feel OK, and have enough strips to keep testing, a few hours, or even a day in the teens isn't going to be toooooo harmful.
I'd ask you to really carefully monitor if you have taken 10u.
Ha ha. Bless you....I think all your advice is sound Pavlos. And always welcomeShould have known better than to try and diagnose a nurse from half way round the planet. What was I thinking!
Yes. The 2 meters are different manufactures so different stripsSorry pedant alert again!!
Are the strips from different manufacturers?
Opened 3 pots so its pretty accurate. Its so strange?
Sounds like you'll burn it off then :-D7.2 this morning had a hot dog at Girls Brigade last night. Could be that what's made bsquare a bit high. See what i am like later after breakfast. Working all day today so will be busy.

Thankyou. Dr says it national bank holiday for my beta cells. Apparently it can happen sometimes..my food intake over past few days has been great too. No more that 45g of carbs a day....More scary than strange. Hope you're OK - the insulin will sort it out. What on earth could cause that dramatic rise? Be careful monitoring now you've taken the insulin - wouldn't want you to dramatically drop into hypo territory.
Take care.
On the way down again now?8.1 today.
Have you done a comparison?5.2 by my new meter
