we all have those poor me days! and it always feels better to share,( i wish my son would, only to me, somedays i get a bit tired of it and say we cant do therapy today!, i wish he would vent to others but still glad he shares with me rather than holding it all in) so never hesitate to vent because we can all relate, glad things started better today! amy
I also can totally relate to how you are feeling. Random highs are mentally hard whether you can sleuth out the reason or not. I also have a higher temp basal preprogrammed to adjust for monthly hormone changes. I won't change anything about my daily routine but I will stay in the 200's without budging. It's a hormone thing. But, some months it will only last one day other months almost a week. Then once I get my cycle, I bottom out and run ridiculously low for days. It is frustrating dealing with the highs and I get nervous waiting for the lows. My most strangest random high is this: sometimes after the kids' go to bed my husband and I will watch a movie. If the movie is super scary and I get sad, anxious or freaked out my blood sugars will jump into the 250-280 range. Then I am stuck at night not wanting to be very aggressive in correcting it before I go to bed. So, we only watch funny movies at night. :)
my son can have this reaction to, esp at the movies the first time was a shocker it goes along with the adrenaline rush thing, we've been told to not over treat that type of a high, maybe watch the movie have a little bit of a snack with a bolus so you have some extra circulating insulin on board, this is what we tend to do if we go to a movie ( which is rare) and this works better, best wishes! amy
I'm had this type of thing happen with things like job interviews or really stressful tests. It's hard because it's a sharp rise followed by a sharp fall if I correct too much (once it's over) ...
