hyperglycemia

Hi all, I joined specifically to ask this question. Lately I've been feeling as if my bloods are low; achy, tired, adrenaline rises, all that jazz, but when I check my bloods they're normal/high. I think the weirdest was a level of 16mmol, but I was sweaty and weak. Obviously when I Google...

I thought I could get used to having to prick my finger (several times a day) to measure my glucose levels but this is honestly very frustrating. I hate the feeling and it makes me feel so helpless. I started researching some ways for measuring my glucose levels without a finger prick. For me...

I'm seeing my gp in regards to my diabetes in the morning. Shall I wait it out or visit a&e once again? My baby is fast asleep in his cot so could do with staying home in all honestly. Ketones are only 2+ so that's not too bad. Would I be okay to wait until the morning?

I have ketones in my urine again but this time only ++ (4mmol) an high blood sugar. I also have piles which are causing blood loss (don't know if it has anything to do with my blood sugars or ketones). At what point do I seek medical help? GP is closed until morning otherwise I'd call them. Is...
