We all know that stuff like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and so on will make your blood sugar taker off to the moon because of all the starched and flat out sugars that those type of food contain, What types of things raise your blood sugars more than they should on paper? Black coffee makes my blood sugar go up, as does lifting weights. What makes yours go up? Greg

I have noticed Emilee’s going up unexplained when she has a cold coming on. I can predict a cold about two days before the symtoms show up, such as sore throat, stuffy nose ect.
It’s called stress. Stress will make my blood sugar skyrocket.
Anxiety increases my blood sugar.
Being sick increases my blood sugar.
Being scared increases my blood sugar levels.
Have you noticed when you take a shower or hot tub your glucose goes down? ( of course you do ;) Sometimes when Emilee’s numbers are up I will have her shower before her dinner instead of after to bring the number down. Now I have to check her #’s if she is being bitchy to me to make sure she is a normal number before I scold her. It has taght me a lot more patience!
I never noticed that heat lowered my blood sugars, but I can’t stand heat and can’t stay very long in a hot tub. That’s interesting though, I wonder if it is because it increases the rate of absorption due to the dialation caused by the heat…
does anyone know why i can’t control my blood sugar at night . It starts to creep up in the evening and wakes me at about 2 with levels of 14-18 its becoming a real pain !
Is it dropping to 14-18, which means you’re dead, or is it going up, which is what happens to most diabetics?
What does levels of 14-18 mean? What scale are you using?
