Yesterday while at work, my blood sugar went up to 511, I had only ate a health bar with 24 grams of carbs nothing else for breakfast, I ate a cheeseburger for lunch and soup with some tortilla chips and cheese for dinner. All this resulted in me waking up to low blood sugar as a result of me attempting to get my blood sugar down. Today I ate, one piece of toast, 2 pieces of bacon and egg whites and the blood sugar went to 399. I am on a pump I changed that out thinking that might help so I just do not know. Any advice would be appreciated.
Other hormones in the body also can influence glucose. For women monthly changes can cause some problems. Keep records and look for a pattern so the doctor can help you with doses.
Stress is not good for diabetes. Stress releases cortisol and adrenaline. It can be good stress like something exciting or bad stress.
A few times my son spiked very high sugars for no apparent reason and prior to any symptoms of illness. then, he was sick one to days later with fever and infections like flu or strep.
