Uh Oh

Hi Gang....Got a question for you all......can stressing yourself out

about something make your sugar readings go up temporarily ?

Warren's sugar this morning was 123....and that concerned me a bit, cause

for the last week its been between 88-107 . Now I didn't think too much

of it UNTIL I took him his lunch and we tested his blood then, and it was

153...now thats high for him for a lunch time reading, so now I'm a

little bit more concerned. He did cut down on his lunch though, just ate

his sandwich and didn't eat his banana , trying to get the sugar down for

tonight's dinner reading. Oh and I must mention that he hasn't been

eating anything out of the ordinary yesterday, hasn't eaten too much...in

fact his blood reading before dinner last night was only 88 !!! Before

bedtime last night was 128. Its just today that we noticed it creeping

up.

The reason I ask about stress, is because we still haven't found out the

results of his blood tests from Tuesday. I now have another call into the

nurse to see if they are back yet. Warren never used to worry though if

he didn't hear from the dr, he just said, that means things are

fine...but today he specifically made sure to ask me to call them and ask

for the test results so I know this is still worrying him. He's been

worried ever since he had them taken on Tuesday.....and normally he

doesn't fret about that. But...like I said these are the first tests done

after he found out he was diabetic, and he's just very concerned about

how this is affecting the kidney. But thats why I wanted to know..if he

is worrying himself today, like I know he is....could this make the sugar

go up some ? And to compensate should he be cutting down on his intake of

food ?

Thanks all...
