Just take insulin!
If the above advice is all you need to get back into equilibrium after a high blood sugar, then your body is much more obliging than mine. A "High", or "hyperglycemia" for the armchair endocrinologists out there, has less significant short-term effects than going low, but for me a high is harder to recover from. Doing the following when I go high helps me get back to my normal range while avoiding too many dose corrections and limiting my blood sugar's volatility.
Do a blood test as soon as you think your BGL might be high
Since going high usually isn't quite as obvious as being low, it is easy to ignore the warning signs and delay doing a test. (If you need a refresher of the warning signs, they include: excessive thirst, frequent urination, dry-mouth, a metallic taste in your mouth, and fatigue) I have found that if I catch a high early on, it is easier to correct and I have shorter, less severe side-effects.
Correct with an insulin dose ASAP
Sure, you most likely aren't going to have a major medical situation if you don't correct your BGL immediately. But the longer you are high, the greater the negative impact on your kidneys, circulation, and eyesight.
Drink a big glass of water
This is such a simple thing to do, and yet over the years I've noticed that it helps *a lot*. Hyperglycemia is exacerbated by dehydration, which in English translates into "drinking this water will help your blood sugar drop." Also, you're probably thirsty anyways, so enjoy.
Test an hour later, and correct again if you haven't reached your target
If you test before this point, your short-acting insulin may still be taking effect, and it is easy to over-correct. After an hour, test, and take more insulin if you're still above your desired BGL. Plus, this test will show your endocrinologist that not only are you back in range, but you are taking good control of your diabetes.
Taking these steps will help you get your blood sugar back to where you want it to be quickly, easily, and safely. You'll be feeling better sooner, your organs will sustain less long-term damage, and both you and your Endo can sleep easy.

looks very interesting for me.
Thanks for some great points there. I am kind of new to online , so I printed this off to put in my file, any better way to go about keeping track of it then printing?
I couldn’t resist commenting. :)
Intriguing , I wonder what the statistics are on your first point there...
I will use your advice from now on. Jaap
Hey, I just hopped over to your site via StumbleUpon. Not somthing I would normally read, but I liked your thoughts none the less. Thanks for making something worth reading.
@chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don't have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn't write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.
So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can't resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”
I was just doing some web browsing on my Blackberry during my lunch at work , and I came across something I thought was intriguing. It linked to your site so I came over. I can't really find the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good none the less .
Glad to see that this site works well on my iPhone , everything I want to do is functional. Thanks for keeping it up to date with the latest.

Ideas #2 - Set a distinct time to get up every last morning to do some workouts. Yes, the sleeping is wonderful but if you want to get those stunning six pack abs that you can be proud to walk on the beach with then you demand to have some discipline. I discover that early in the morning is the best time to do some workout routines because the time is cool and it will also energize you for the day's activities.
I was just doing some surfing on my Samsung Phone during my lunch at work , and I came across something I thought was intriguing. It linked over to your website so I came over. I can't really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good anyway.
Excellent job.

Thats some good fundamentals there, already knew some of that, but you can always learn more. I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just attempting to be “controversial? lol
Just checking out your site on my brand new iPhone , and I wanted to see if it would let me reply or if it was going to me go to a desktop to do that. Ill check back later to see if it worked.
When you are short on cash there are still ways to purchase the things you need, especially with all the coupons on offer online these days. One special type of coupon on offer is from Wal-mart, the $500 and $1000 Walmart gift cards. They are not wholly "free" since you must pay with some of your precious time, however, everyone can obtain these giftcards if they are willing to make the effort.
Very interesting blog. I will return.

@ Mike I know what your saying there . In the current economy its hard to find a career that pays good and is consistent. I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the writer of this page , they are clearly hard working and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
Great post!
