I hate not knowing why. It'll be ok. Hopefully it figures itself out soon. Keep your head up and insulin pumping. Stacey-

I am sorry you are dealing with high bg’s. I hate not knowing why. It’ll be ok. Hopefully it figures itself out soon. Keep your head up and insulin pumping.

He couldn't find any sores or infections that were detectable by eye. I have to go for a fasting blood test tomorrow. He got into something about cholesterol (which was never a problem before) but even he doubts that's what it is. He said to up my basals again but to test every half hour to make sure I am not dropping. His final word was, let's see what your blood tells us. Oh and "why are you surprised? I expect nothing normal, ordinary, nor easy from you. Neither should you, lol." Sad part is, he's right. I went to the doctor and he is a bit flummoxed himself.

Highs that won't come down are the worst. I'm with you though, I don't turn down a banana anything. Great running into you last night! Highs that won’t come down are the worst.

I'm sorry that you're having all those unexplained highs. I've been struggling lately with mysterious lows all the time, and I think Stacey is right-- neither is worse than the other, they both are sooooo frustrating! I hope the endo gets down to the bottom of this. Keep us posted, yeah? Tina, that sucks! I’m sorry that you’re having all those unexplained highs.

Sometimes I don't know which are worse, highs or lows that don't want to end. Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day for you!

(Although I started out normal, had an extremely low carb bfast, went high after, and won't come down.) I blame it on the Cosmos. :) As much as it sucks, it's good to know we are not alone!

I even checked all my tubing and such for my pump 'cause it doesn't make sense that I'm not budging after 12 units an hour ago. Argh! I have been having the same type of morning.
