As I have posted previously, I have been hypo for most of my life. But lately I have noticed my BG readings climbing higher than usual. I am showing 179 mg/dl upon awakening in the mornings. Then an hour later, a reading of 88 mg/dl. I will fluctuate up and down from there between 60 mg/dl to 197 mg/dl. I have re-calibrated my monitor and still get these readings. My biggest concern is that the highest numbers are resulting after meals. I can eat a small omelet and get readings as if I had ate a loaded baked potato! The strangest thing of all this is that I feel like I do when my blood sugar is dropping low, but when it is actually high. Can anyone please tell me what is happening to me? My monitor is only a month old so I do not think this is the problem. I cannot go to my regular physician as that he moved and the new physician in that office is unfamiliar with even hypoglycemia. I just need to know if I should be concerned at this point enough to begin seeing a new doctor elsewhere.
