Hyper

[Jimmy2202]

Hi all.

I had annual consultant meeting other day, and im perfect diabetic apparently which is good to know.

He looked at my Libre readings and said how he can see that I don’t hypo nor do I hyper.

Now I know I don’t hypo as I’ll always take action for a hypo at 5.6 instead of 4, but I know I had some highs that he must of seen which would have been as high as 18 maybe even 20 once or twice.

But he didn’t call these ‘as highs’

So what is classed as a high/hyper?

I certainly class anything with over 16 as a high in my head

I class a hyper as anything over 14, but will do a correction at 13 if need be

but I know I had some highs that he must of seen which would have been as high as 18 maybe even 20 once or twice.

So long as they're short-lived, I think that's OK. Not optimal, but not terrible. (I have the same, now and again.) And anyway I don't trust that what Libre thinks is 20 is really 20. (When I've double checked with a test strip the test strip is usually lower. But then I probably shouldn't really be trusting test strips then, either.)

hypos have more of a defined difantition then hyper hypos are considered for people on insullin are cosidered to be 3.9 ad below. i caont hypers as being above 13.9(but will correct above 10 as long as its been 4 hours since last injected(unless i tell the insullin have left on bored isnt going do anything))
