High BG no reason??

[Chappy]

After working hard for the last two months to get my blood sugar readings down to under 7mmol, I felt really lethargic and out of sorts this afternoon. I had home made lentil soup which I have had a few times with no reaction, but when I tested my BG was 11.7 mmol. I'd had nothing different to my normal intake, same breakfast, a couple of litres of water during the morning, and the soup. Any ideas what could have caused this?

BG can be affected by all sorts of things. Stress... brewing illness... changes in weather and ambient temperature.

Also a one-off test may be a rogue result (though it did confirm your feeling out of sorts).

Hope it is just a blip.

Did you have bread with your soup Chappy? It gets me every time otherwise could be the reasons everydays mentions.

No bread. I gave that up a couple of months ago.

My readings when sky high for the couple of days we had very heavy snow making it not safe to leave our cottage ( pavements too slippery) and also a frozen but not burst pipe one morning so no water until we could find and thaw it out followed by the stress in case it happened again.
Like you chappie breakfast on each day was a slice of bread from the same loaf and an egg from the same chicken.
Before snow post breakfast level between 6.4 and 7.7 two days of snow post breakfast 9.7, and 9.6, now its thawed back down to 7.7 yesterday and 6.6 today!
Stress and lack of activity the probable cause in my case.

I've just taken my Fasting test and it's 8.1, still too high but slowly coming back down. Could well be stressed, I had to cancel a holiday due to the snow, and was really looking forward to it, never mind, I'll book another when the rubbish weather has gone!!
