Goodness Me Hun Not Had The Best Day Have We , What Meter Do You Use ? I Know My Meter Will Only Read 27 And If It Goes Onto Hi Then I Guess It Means Im Higher Then 30, Have You Eating Anything Outta The Ordinary That Might Of Caused The Ups And Downs?

p.s there is no chance that it might just be a dodgy test strip? incase maybe perform a control solution test

well i always assume when it shows HI its 30+ and thats pretty high in my books, so i will always take about 10/12 units straight away and then recheck after giving it a bit of time to work. It will likely to have come back down to below 30 so then u can see if u need anymore or not.

thanks for that dan , yeah i think its about 33 or something ?? ive just taken 12 units of fast and i'll check again and correct if i need to . thankyou !!!!
 
Well its now after 3 am and I'm still " HI " on the meter !! ive done 2 corrections of 12 units and then another 10 , still not coming down 😱 Im starting to feel quite sick and VERY thirsty now , and blurry vision although I'm not sure if thats the high levels or the fact its late lol more likely to be the high levels I think as I hardly ever sleep anyway. I'll check again and then hopefully I will be coming down rather than staying " HI" or dropping like a stone. Ive checked for Blood Ketones and all clear so thats something I suppose. 😱
 
Right its 4.10 am and finally I'm coming down ,I'm now 22.9 so I'm going in the right direction at last lol , its taking its time though as this started just before Midnight and I'm still sky high after 2 corrections . I will wait a while longer then correct again if I need to which I think is quite possible 😱
 
morning AM how are things now ? gosh you had an eventful night , hope your feeling better

yeah i can imagine the headaches i get them everytime i hyper seem to come with the terriotory
 
Wow... Sorry Anne-Marie, I completely missed you last night. I hop eyou're feeling a bit better this mornig. Continually high levels really make you feel rubbish don't they! Keep checking to make sure allthose correction doses don't suddenly make you drop... I wonder what it was? Do you feel ill? maybe you're brewing for something? x

Hi Munjeeta , it was the result and bounce back from two low hypos during the day/ evening and a touch of the hypo munchies I think , it doesnt help the Carbs zoom me to the 20's even after the smallest amount ( 1 slice of brown bread ) so all combined and I have been off the scale all night :( I'm on the way down now though im 10 so i'll check in a while and then correct if needed. Hope you have a good day !! good luck with your levels today !!
 
Hi Anne Marie,
Sorry you had a bad night. I was told that meters only read up to 31 and then will just show 'HI'. It does sound as if you have over treated the hypo's? What do you have for a hypo normally? Were you exercising earlier on as this can bring levels high. Hope your feeling better this morning.🙂Bev
 
Hi Anne-Marie, hope things have stabilised now and the heat isn't making you hypo again - stay cool 🙂
