Sugar levels 22 all day. Officially freaked out now

My sugar levels were 18 and 19 all day yesterday and today they are 22 all day. My god. I’m freaking out. I’ve done keto strip which is almost normal and to add, I haven’t even eaten yet today. Too scared to cause they are so high

Hi Becca,
perhaps if you ate something it would stop your liver dumping glucose due to it thinking you are starving and need extra fuel.

Corrections are injecting more insulin to correct your bg if they are still off.

Hi becca.

A correction is where you inject for example 1 unit of fast acting insulin to being your levels down by roughly 5 mmols.
Could we know a bit about your back story? How long have you been diagnosed and what insulin program are you on?

Corrections means correcting with an injection of insulin, but I seem to remember you aren’t on insulin, so it’s not relevant to you.

Becca, what are you eating? are you on low carb? how long have yo been type 2? what is your most recent HbA1C If your BG is that high you might want to call the doc and discuss or the diabetic nurse.
