Mom 2 Kyle replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"OH ... and driking lots of water will help bring her #'s down and help flush any ketones out of her system. :)"
Mom 2 Kyle replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"There are SO many reasons why it could be high. Maybe you didn't give the amount of insulin you thouht you did. Maybe you didn't count carbs correctly. Maybe she was stressed today. Maybe she is getting sick (I hope not). Maybe it's…"
Hockey Mom replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Sometimes stress at school (a test, presentation, etc.) could make my son go up.
He also was at times high in the afternoons and early evening when he was on 24 hour Levemir that was injected at night. But, when we did initial testing for the pump…"
jms1313 replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My daughter goes high when she is cutting new teeth- there are so many things that can affect BG - the important thing is to not panic and realize there are no bad numbers you are controlling the best you can. You don't want your daughter to…"
sarhow replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Maybe she didn't wash her hands? Sugar/food on fingers can alter the results. But if the cgms concurs then that is unlikely. I often rewash hands and retest with unexplained highs before I correct. If she was on a pump it's likely an issue…"
gocamama replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I know how frustrated you may feel now, but that is D, sometimes unpredictable. I do hope you find your "suspect" and are able to eliminate it....
Hope you will enjoy this story of mine…"
Momtomad replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks all!"
Linda Rabe-Frady replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Agree with the previous comments. My son was 9 at diagnosis. Sometimes it just goes high for no good reason. If he gets sick or is unusually stressed it can go up. Also he went up when his ped gave him a steroid nasal spray for his allergies, even…"
Alissa replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Sounds like diabetes mixed with hormones, possible sign of illness about to hit, a little less exercise, or maybe even french fries or a food that didn't digest as fast as others her body is more used to but has now produced the rise in her bg…"
Jeje9272 replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi!
These things happen- they will happen for no reason that you can figure out. Remember- there are no good numbers, no bad numbers, it is all good information. Your doctor or team can help you learn how to adjust for highs- we have a certain…"
Momtomad replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks... No pump, no bubbles as I did it, and the insulin is not new so I doubt that is it. She is 11 so hormones could be it or end of honeymoon... She dropped really fast after diagnoss and has gotten used to l ow insulin doses. Maybe that will…"
"does she pump? maybe a site change?
or bubbles in the syringe?
bad insulin?
she could be coming out of her honeymoon.. depending on her age- it could be hormonal..
or it could just be that sometimes - diabetes just throws you for a loop. If her…"

Help! Huge sugar spike for no reason!
My daughter was diagnosed in November but we have not seen numbers even in the 200s since then except for maybe 2 or 3 times. She runs around 100. At dinner she was 315!!! She swears she did not eSt anything unaccounted for, there was no exercise today... It is slowly coming own but not by much. I figure we will see where it is overnight (I won't test her probably- she has a cgm so I can look at that)... If it is still really high in the am we will call the doc but any ideas why it is so high?…See More
Mountain Biker replied to Momtomad's discussion 'New sensor failed !!!' in the group Dexcom Users"I was 64 in line. Be sure and ask for the call back on your phone number rather than waiting. I called 3 hours before they closed without an response that day, but they called the next morning."
Korrie replied to Momtomad's discussion 'Are you serious?!' in the group Dexcom Users"Just replied on other posting, but also make sure the transmitter is securely snapped in both sides. Pinch it with your fingers to make sure. Try again in the morning - let it wet overnight. Leave everything in and the transmitter snapped in and the…"
