Okay so this happened to me yesterday and I haven't managed to find any answers and hoping you guys can help me 🙂

Peed on a urine stick since i'd been running BS in the 14s for the past 3/4 hours following a breakfast of bacon & eggs and despite the levels I didn't show up any glucose in urine? I know I didn't eat any but my sugars were still high so I don't understand what was going on.

Also, i'm wondering if my muscle pains from my chronic fatigue syndrome may be partly culprit for pushing my sugars up... since they've been particularly bad recently. Not sure if any of you suffer from similar pains, not sure how this would work as I don't know if I have inflammation (which would push BS up) or how exactly it works?!

🙂
 
Pain of itself can cause the release of stress homones, which is what increases your BG. Then there's trauma ditto (like eg when you walk into something), inflammation ditto .... so yes muscle pain could increase your BG.

So what was your BG before brekkie and does B&E normally increase it? (at all - not necessarily to the teens) And what was your BG before you went to bed? Just trying to work out at what time your BG actually increased, and what had happened/been going on, prior to that point.

Urine tests reveal the situation 2 hours ago - if you have a normal renal threshold that is. Do you?
