Survey: highest number and lowest number

560 highest - 21 lowest

I don’t know what I was when diagnosed, but they caught it early and I remember they said I was lucky, I wasn’t really high like they usually see. I’ve never had keto-acidosis and only ever trace keytones - usually in relation to illness. I feel fortunate as I’ve been diabetic for 17 yrs.

Hi: Over 700
Lo: 68

That’s not too low! Hey, I’m Type 2 :wink:

Highest - Diagnosed at 530-something. But other than that, I don’t think it has gotten much over 300

Lowest - 37. Just a terrible feeling.

My highest was 521, right after my diagnosis before I picked up my insulin.

My lowest was 25, when I was in college. I woke up on my couch feeling a little low, and sure enough, I was.

At my last sweats I was 28 and when I had surgery they said I topped 1200 in the hospital
I don’t feel the lows until I’m in the thirty’s
My highest accu check test was high

My highest was about 250’s
My lowest was 44 and my husband walked in the room to find me laying on the living room floor with my head in the dog’s bed. The dog was licking me and I think I was just so tired I couldn’t move and was confused. Scared my husband but the dog liked it! Today my low was 54 so naturally I am still weak and tired. Hate the lows!!!

Mine was HIGH (over 600) and 27

Well I just replied to this the other night but tonight I hit a new low of 25 before I even felt a little strange no sweats at all just that weird kinda feeling.
I was ten minutes short of testing at my 2 hr post supper which was 46g of carbs so we had to take four glucose tabs and wait and see know were that takes us Im close to bed time and I need to take my lantus now but I think I’ll wait on that. Maybe someday the rollorcoaster will stop.

High- 278
Low- 32

Well,

As I have read other posts…my “high” was over 1000 when diagnosed. I just remember drinking 3 64 ounce drinks usually soda’s and always going to the restroom! My eyes were so blurred!!!

Since then, my high is something like 350…I dont really notice much when I am high…As you can tell from my latest A1c of 12.5 its been bad recently.

My low is 25…As others have said…I just wanted to eat! eat! eat!..I find it extremely tough to do as doctors say take 15 grams of carbs and wait 15 min…when I am low!!! I just can’t handle that…(I feel that way)!!

I was diagnosed at 7 hours old. My glucose level was 1200. They didn’t expect me to survive. But here I am 33 years later still fighting!
My highest that I was consciously aware of was 700 (oops.)
My lowest that I was consciously aware of was 12 (oops.)
That was all prior to pump therapy. Now my highest was 423 and my lowest 37. It isn’t too often that I go scary high/low. Just once in a blue moon.

Highest :
591 ;the doctors told me,when I had pneumonia in the early 1980s ( about 20 years pre-pump for me) and was hospitalized for it as well as the subsequent DKA. I do not know what it was at my diagnosis in 1968:I was a young teen and nobody gave me the numbers.

Lowest:19 still awake, not seizuring; I was talking , though not coherently; too much exercise and too little snacks
Self-treated with help from a friend, who kept me on task by the phone as I treated with OJ and glucose tabs.

Highest: around 400 after a GTT. Even the thought of that sweet glucose drink makes me nauseous.
Lowest: 34. Also my fastest drop, I went from around 120 to 34 in 20 minutes. Odd.

HI and 13. (And I don’t think the machine was being “friendly”!)
Retested w/ the high reading and got a fascinating array of corresponding numbers: 361, 500, HI
