Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 That is odd. I initially thought that perhaps the Dr. Pepper wasn't diet, but it seems you checked that already. Are you sure your hands are clean before testing? Having food on your fingers can make a vast difference in the blood sugar reading you get. When you were high, especially 426, did you feel high? If I test high and do not feel high I wash my hands and retest, and sometimes I am high for real, but sometimes it's a false reading. Jen Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Are you sure it is not the milk? I have not heard of a sugar free pop dong that. If it is not a non-fat milk, the fat from the milk can keep the carbs from reacting quickly and hit you lateer. odd question Just curious if any one has experienced the same kind of thing. Two days ago I drank a can of Diet Dr. Pepper between breakfast and lunch. My BG on waking up was 106 and I had my normal breakfast of 2 cups of milk. I took the insulin needed to cover the carbs in the milk and the BG. Before lunch my BG was 426. I will also say that there was no stress to speak of that day. Yesterday I didn't drink any of the diet Dr. Pepper and the highest my BG went was a post meal of 160. Today I again tried the diet Dr. Pepper and my sugars spiked to over 200. Can any one think of a reason for this? I did have my sister double check the pop to make sure it was diet and it is. I can drink other dark pops and they don't bother me so I am thinking it is not the coloring, though I could be wrong.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Because of my hands always being cold I wash them in warm water, not hot, to get the blood flowing a little better so I am sure they were clean at the time. RE: odd question That is odd. I initially thought that perhaps the Dr. Pepper wasn't diet, but it seems you checked that already. Are you sure your hands are clean before testing? Having food on your fingers can make a vast difference in the blood sugar reading you get. When you were high, especially 426, did you feel high? If I test high and do not feel high I wash my hands and retest, and sometimes I am high for real, but sometimes it's a false reading. Jen Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG.

I use skim milk so the fat should not be a problem. odd question Just curious if any one has experienced the same kind of thing. Two days ago I drank a can of Diet Dr. Pepper between breakfast and lunch. My BG on waking up was 106 and I had my normal breakfast of 2 cups of milk. I took the insulin needed to cover the carbs in the milk and the BG. Before lunch my BG was 426. I will also say that there was no stress to speak of that day. Yesterday I didn't drink any of the diet Dr. Pepper and the highest my BG went was a post meal of 160. Today I again tried the diet Dr. Pepper and my sugars spiked to over 200. Can any one think of a reason for this? I did have my sister double check the pop to make sure it was diet and it is. I can drink other dark pops and they don't bother me so I am thinking it is not the coloring, though I could be wrong.
