Why Did My Blood Sugar Spike To 11.5 This Morning?

Lynnzhealth · Jun 23, 2018

Since I've been diagnosed with T2 in March 2017 I've been following the Keto plan and have gotten everything pretty stable since then, with no meds. I forgot to take my BG before breakfast today so waited 2 hr and took it after. It was 11.5!! YIKES! For breakfast I ate one fried egg, a tiny bit of ham, a few pieces of cut-up peppers/onion, coffee with Stevia, MCT oil/collagen and a Keto bun/butter. I know I didn't get a good night's sleep, however, it rarely goes that high. Why would it do that? I have to say it freaks me out when it does that for no reason that I can figure out. So, I'm taking the dog for a walk now to see if I can get it to come down. Diabetes is weird.

I can't really assist with anything but reassurance - though I am puzzled by you having eaten a 'keto bun' - what is it? As an afterthought - how many carbs does it have?

Did you wash your hands and repeat the test to rule out faulty strip or something on your fingers giving an inaccurate reading

Yes, I washed my hands first. We just got back from our walk and it's now down to 7.0.

Nothing out of the ordinary. I was also wondering if getting a summer cold might do it and waking up two or three times through the night.

Very likely.

From 11.5 to 7 in an hour or so seems like a big drop just from taking a walk. I wouldn't believe the 11.5 if it doesn't usually happen and you haven't repeated the test.

I probably should have checked it the second time. Since it was such a big drop, maybe there was a problem the first time. I hate it when it does that.
