Nothing out of the ordinary, same old day, this seems to happen often when I try to be good and follow a healthy diet and walking the dog, drink plenty of water and follow a good diet then WAM ! numbers go silly.Well, I've noticed that stress can impact the values. A whole numer of things can, actually. Did you do anything out of the regular? I just recently saw a post about heat causing hypers. Was your post 8.9?
Thanks bulkbiker. Yes did a re-test in case but this happens to me so often. I follow a good diet as far as I can then for no reason loopy numbers.Did you wash your hands and test again? could well have been a rogue reading.. sounds like it may well have been.
Hi... yes it did have honey so I only used a small amount. I was unaware that such a small amount could make such a big change.My first thought, too, was re-test as @bulkbiker suggested.
But what was in the dressing? I've found that on the rare occasion I've risked a commercial sauce or dressing, even the tiniest bit of sugar in it can up my levels more than I'd expect, considering the small amount I've actually consumed.

PS Just a thought: also check the goats cheese - unlikely but someone posted recently that they'd accidentally bought one containing honey!!
Many thanks Kristin251 I had no idea that lettuce could give you a spike and the effect of a little dressing answers my question,I thought I was being good. There are wonderful people on this forum with loads of answers.post: 1494229 said:For some odd reason salad ( lettuce greens) spike me disproportionately as well as commercial dressing even if creamy and low carb. I try to bring my own olive oil if I know I'm not eating at home. Lettuce annoys me. Shouldn't raise me but it a.ways does.
Thanks Monav. My brother died a few weeks ago and yes my numbers were all over the place but they had settled down this week and I was so pleased and relieved so I was so surprised that a salad can catch me out. Guess the stress is still there as he was younger than myself with heart problems from drinking and smoking and type 2 so I blame him for his short life.I was doing reasonably well on low carb and exercise then everything went kerflooey. But for me I think it's stress. Friends son committed suicide - brought back emotions about my sons suicide 10 years ago. So I've started back on glipizide. Ugh.
Hi all. Question I need to ask... all week I've had good numbers from 6.4 to 7.2 not watched my diet to much this week, so lunch Saturday was green leaf salad, tomatoes.goats cheese with a little dressing not too much. Afternoon I got an 8.9.! ! started the day 6.4 what happened ? I thought I was a good boy.
I guess I've still got some issues to work out. Sunday I drove to my Girlfriend just half an hour away round the M25 the traffic was bad with people in the middle lane at 60 hogging the road. I tested in the morning to see what sort of breakfast I could have and all was good yet when I arrived at her place I felt something was wrong so a re-test gave me a 4mmol. I don't normally get stressed driving as I was a service tech on the road for 40 years and seen it all.I was doing reasonably well on low carb and exercise then everything went kerflooey. But for me I think it's stress. Friends son committed suicide - brought back emotions about my sons suicide 10 years ago. So I've started back on glipizide. Ugh.
