high sugar levels

Hi just something interesting for you to read.

Yesterday morning I woke up with sugar levels of 21.0. The funny thing was that I had taken my base insulin the day before and my evening needle after my dinner, so I couldn't figure out why I had gone so high. My mum thought that I may have possibly hypoed during the night as it was not normal for a reading that high.

Later on throughout the day my sugar levels continued to be high no matter how much insulin I had. At dinner time my sugar levels were 31.4! I have never been that high. We came up with the idea that there was something wrong with my insulin so this morning I changed my insulin cartridge and then changed my base insulin lantus. I hope this is the reason why I was so high if not then I haven't got a clue as I have been doing extra insulin and eating less so there is no reason for me to go high.

hi. diabetic for 17 years here... i guess you use a different measuring system than i do. i don't really get the 31.4, etc. with my meter, a good range is between 80-100.
