I cannot drink any carbonation it takes my sugar through them roof. You will find if you do not eat or snack on a regular basis your liver and pancreas will not be happy.

As a diabetic, you will find different foods or drinks will raise you sugar. For me beer will up it a little, but for my brother a beer will make it go through e roof.

With BS over 400 you should contact your Doctor right away or if not available go to ER

My understanding is the same as Cyndie's-- that with BSL readings 400 and over, it warrants professional medical intervention. Take care.

call your doctor and let them know...not eating is not going to solve the issue, your body will think you are starving it and will add more glucose into your system. Are you even on meds? And exercising is not a good thing when numbers are over 200, this can cause a real serious drop in numbers

I couldn't call my dr or go to the er my primary dr sucks hes acient and needs to retire and I wont go to them cause they will lecture me cause of my high sugers I don't like getting lectured by a stranger who gives to shits about me and wants a big paycheck to do nun my fam can lecture me cause ik they care about me but drs nope well most I should say im thinkin why my suger went up is I was reading this online earlye I could be insulin resistance but I don't take my insulin haven't in months cause of pure laziness I forgot all about this I think this is the problem makes the most sense to me STRESS I stress a lot cause of my depression and everything so I think the reason y my suger goes up it im always depressed if its not that I have no clue

you need to find a doctor who will help you and better yet you need to listen and try to help yourself...doctors can't do it for you

Hi Ray

If your blood sugars are high it will take your body longer to heal, this could be why the ulcer has not yet healed.

If you have been prescribed insulin you do need to take the amount yoiur doctor has prescribed. If you are not doing this, this could be why your blood sugars are high especially as you seem to be eating without taking insulin (as I understand your posts).

In order to get your blood sugars back in line, you need to take your insulin and eat standard meals at meal times. If you know how to carb count and use a ratio of insulin to carbs then that is a good way to know how much to inject. So eat at meal times, eat a standard amount, test and take insulin. If you don't know, then ask your doctor. Some diabetes clinics run classes in these sorts of things so ask about that and get yourself onto one if you can, it will really help to get a handle on new skills and brush up on old ones as well as meeting other diabetics.

If you feel your doctors are not helping the best thing is to find another doctor. I know you said you are quite remotely located. But in that case you need to find a way of getting to another doctor, even if it means moving out from your parents house, learning to drive so you don't depend on your mum to drive you, getting a train/plane.coach/bus or paying for overnight accommodation so you can get to a doctor further away, contacting charities or other places to get these kinds of things funded or find government assistance with the costs. Your health is more important, And quite honestly, complaining won't solve anything, you need to come up with a practical solution. It might not all happen immediately but you need to keep working away at it and aim for a solution. It is hard, but it can be done. In the meantime, read up as much as you can and educate yourself. We are all here to help and answer your questions or sympathize but you need to take action to help yourself to get yourself good health care.
