high blood sugars

I am 4 months post op and have be doing great until the last couple of days my blood sugar is extremly high 20-24 in the morning, i have resulted back to my original insulin dose, but i am still coming in at 12 at lunch. and suggestions?

I wish I had advice, but I do not know what the numbers you give translate to that I would understand.  I am use to numbers such as 200 or 240 or 120 or 85.

Conversion calcultors are very easy to find. Search on Google for glucose conversion calculator.

22 mmol/l translates to 396 (yikes!). 

I would definitely be calling my doctor for readings that high without explanation...

Are you getting a cold...maybe some type of infection? I would check with the doc. Sometimes basal rates and needs change rapidly....mine usually change during the time changes. Not exactly sure why, but at least I know when to expect it.

Hormones - stress, illness, all sorts of things can cause a raise in blood sugars. Even sleep deprevation can cause one to be more insulin resistant.

Talk to your doctor about coming up with a correction calculation so you know how much to take when needed.

for me this is what my calculation would look like 


(BG mg/dl- 140) / 35 =  required insulin amount


now when starting this process my doctor did

(bg mg/dl - 150) /50 = insulin dose

Right now my target sugar level is higher than I normally would have it so that I avoid going low and not require sugar to bring back my sugar levels.  Though when I reach 8 weeks post op, I'll change my target.

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES
