[QUOTE="bethhchapman, post: 2418167, member: 545619"] Hi, This is my first time using this so I apologise if this isn’t how I get advice. I was diagnosed with diabetes in December and so I am still learning how to manage it. Today I had an unexpected high blood sugar which I really can’t understand why it would happen so I wondered if someone could help me. I must say that I have a special form of diabetes which means I do produce some insulin just not enough so sometimes I don’t have to inject for everything. Anyway today I injected and had my lunch as usual and then 2 hours later it was at 5 and going down, I had a meeting so wanted to curb it before I went into it I had a very small chocolate bar to ensure I didn’t drop into a hypo at 3pm. After my meeting at 5pm I checked my sugars and they were at 7 and I could see the little peak that the chocolate had made. An hour later I checked my sugars ready to inject for dinner and was alarmed to see that it had risen to 14. I wondered if anyone knew why this may be as this was three hours after eating anything and it wasn’t until the 3rd hour that it actually started to rise like that. I am extremely confused as on my freestyle libre graph I could see a visible small peak where I had eaten the chocolate and at the two hour point it was normal. [/QUOTE]
