i burned the roof of my mouth from drinking a HOT cup of coffee. I’ve been in pain for 2 days. Also experiencing some highs over these 2 days. Is my pain and blood sugar connected?
I agree with Judith. Also, two days seems long to experience pain from hot coffee, and my concern would be that the area might be infected and need treatment.
Definitely. Any bodily trauma can cause highs. I hurt my back, nothing even that serious, & the pain shot me up like a rocket. I was barely eating & couldn’t tame those readings until the pain was gone.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Pain can cause a release of hormones like cortisol which clearly raise your blood sugar. The other thing you have to remember is that any inflammation in your body can also raise your blood sugar. And a burn or a cut is certainly an inflammation.
thanks everyone. i learn something new everyday.
