Blood Sugars Going Nuts

The past 5 weeks since I have had a new arrival in the family my bloods have been going nuts recently with no changes to my habits with eating and injecting and correcting high readings, not sure if stress attributes to high readings as well. Attached is a 3 day period of readings, looking for any advice as my bloods have been great up until the past 5 weeks as I said.

Thanks

How is your sleep? I'm guessing it's less than usual? I find that lack of sleep does affect the ability of my BGs. And kids in general give me some pretty bad hypos. You have a lot of hypo checks recorded without hypos recorded before them. Is the diary missing some entries? E.g. 1727 on 02/09, 1548 and 1730 on 03/09, 1020 on 04/09...

Hi there,

Sleep aint the best as my daughter aint well atm, and my hypo checks are before I drive home at night from work to ensure im safe to drive! Other entries are to check readings to ensure my blood is going in the right direction not specifically hypo checks!!

There is an option called "Before Driving" which would be better to select. Hypo Check is used more for checking blood sugars after a hypo to check that the hypo is over :-)

Stress definitely contributes to high readings. There are a few hormones such as adrenaline involved that are produced by stress which make the body more insulin resistant, and therefore more insulin is required.

I'd suggest testing a bit more often while you adjust to the new normal, and correcting where you need to. You will work out what your new insulin needs are within a short while. All the best with it.
