No other diabetic symptoms before now but a sudden hike in BS level to 367?
Loo asked:
I have never (that I know of) exhibited symptoms of diabetes. I have always eaten sweet or sugar foods in moderation without problems. The other night I felt as if I need a snack before supper and ate one of my kids little fruit cups with the diced peaches. Within a few minutes I started feeling dizzy and my eyesight started going. The eyesight thing just started getting worse and worse until I could barely see at all and then starting to feel like vomiting. My husband convinced me to test my BS level with his meter. It came out as 367! It scared me to death so I had him take me to the ER only for it to fall to 105 by the time I got there. I got no explanation for the episode from the doc. I heard that women have problems with BS levels in early and late pregnancy but its only been 1 week and 1 day since my hubby and I had unprotected ***. Now today I feel so angry that I could burn the whole world down. lol. But my sugar level is fine. My period is a couple weeks late too. I dunno. Can anyone explain to me this sudden “diabetic” attack? What could it have come from? I have eaten a couple of tiny sugary things in the last few days that have the same amount of sugar as the fruit cup with no problem. I’m concerned.

diabetic testing
If your hands were dirty and had some sugar on them, this would cause it.
Try it your self. Put some syrup on your fingers then test your blood sugar.
You need to wash your hands with soap and water, then dry well before testing.
Never rely on one result, especially when the result is not believable.

machine error…or u wud not have had a proper hand wash…needle might not be new ….anything…..just get ur machine checked so that later u dont have to experience such thing…and just “one” reading doesnt make u a diabetic especially when u r doing all this at home…if u really concerned get ur fasting level done once a while and get ur HbA1c done…resolves all query….it tells ur sugar levels for the last 3 months…its the latest in diabetic testing

Thats hard to explain but the BEST thing to do is see your Dr for a some screening. You should have your fasting and A1C checked. I am assuming your husband is a diabetic so you should be familiar with these. If not, the fasting is your blood sugar after 10 – 12 hours of fasting and your A1C checks the overall average of your blood glucose over the last three months. These are key in determining what is going on with our sugars and if this was a fluke or if your sugars normally run high.
