Test your ketones first. If they're high, call your doctor. Otherwise, take the medicine your doctor gave you, and maybe exercise. There are lots of logical explanations for a blood sugar of 278, IE forgetting to take insulin or medication for food. If you're really high (300+), feel nauseous, or have ketones, that's when you Need to call a doc.\nMenstruation does different things to different women. For me, my blood sugar goes crazy and being in the two or three hundreds isn't unusual when I'm PMSing.

Yes it can, in my experience I get a headache when I'm coming off a sugar high. Eat something with some complex carbs and you'll level out again.

Limit your carb intake. The body turns all carbs into sugar. With simple carbs; sugar, honey, syrup, etc. the body converts these quickly causing your blood sugar to spike so avoid these. Complex carbs like rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. take longer to convert so your blood sugar doesn't spike, but it will still go up. You also have to be careful not to eat too much protein. Protein won't effect your blood sugar, but will effect your kidneys which are already working overtime trying to get rid of the excess sugar. Make an appointment and talk with a dietitian. In the meantime practice portion control. That's where most of us get in trouble. 1/2 Cup is a serving of starch like corn, beans, pasta, potatoes. 1 Cup is a serving of raw veggies and 1/2 Cup cooked veggies = a serving. 1 oz. of meat = 1 serving of meat. Watch your diet and talk with a dietitian and you should be able to control your diabetes without having to go on meds. OH and always carry some hard candy with you in case your blood sugar gets too low. Good luck with this.

J and gand..are both absolutely correct. If you are diabetic and checking your sugar and you are having difficulty controling it you need to see your diabetes management nurse or physician. Now there are a few other things that can also cause a rise in am sugars that would be the use of corticosteroids for the control of inflamation or endocrin disorders. Corticosteroids can actually cause a non diabetic to require the use of diabetic medications during the course of there treatment (that cortisol thing going on there)

Stuff with lots of sugar, especially sodas and other drinks.  Try just drinking water.

Doctor...doctor...doctor....go see your doctor or a nutritionist!\n\nAre you on oral meds?  How long have you been diagnosed with DM?  After a certain amount of time, if your diet doesn't control your blood sugars, your doctor may consider treating you with oral medication.  What is your weight like?  That could be a factor, too.

I have same trouble. .  dessert has always been my favorite part of the meal.   Unfortunately, there really aren't any shortcuts;  there are four factors that will affect your sugar level   1)Food and 2)Stress will make it go up  and 3) Physical exertion and 4) Insulin will make it go down.  It's a daily chore to maintain a balance of all of these but it's really the only way.   To echo others' sentiments here on Yahoo! Answers,  even if it sounds like really excellent advice!,  Don't depend on it to determine your actions.  Talk to your Doctor or a registered Dietitian please!

Yes, as long as you're not in danger of anemia.  The nurse where you go to donate will test your iron levels before you donate whether you're menstruating or not and they won't let you donate if your iron levels aren't high enough.  As long as you're OK on that score, you're fine to donate while on your period.  I have.

Possibly Candida overgrowth throughout your whole system.  Take strong probiotics every day and stay away from refined carbs.  You might be really intolerant to sugars and have Hypoglycemia too (low blood sugar).  Hypoglycemia (and diabetes) can be triggered when pregnant.  \n\nOther possibility, you have a food allergy. Try the exclusion diet to see what is causing it.

Banannas/Yogurt\nAnything with lots of potassium is good....check out some home remedies. Like if you swallow down cumin and salt [drink helluh water down] it will sort of make your menstruation not as...severe?

Please, stay away from the meds. I've had two friends wind up in the emergency room from pills- not 'overdoing' it or anything. Try green tea, ginseng, anything natural

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 24 years now and i have 2 teenage kids, both healthy and happy. i had c-sections with both of them.My blood sugar levels were terrible when I got pregnant but with 3 hourly monitoring and weekly scans after 32 weeks to make sure the baby wasn;t getting to big, I had a healthy boy. I got alot of support from my diabetic specialist and obstetrician. I had to have an amnio at 18 weeks but no problems. Your sugar levels go up a bit after the birth for a few days but settle down again as your body recovers feel free to ask me anything there really is nothing to be scared of!!!

My mother reached menopause. She said she never had the side effect youre referring to but she thinks that a healthy diet helped. She buys only organic food, even condiments like sugar and flour are all organic. She eats a lot of wheat and fiber. The only other preventative is to take estrogen pills. Hormone pills will continue your menstrual cycle, but at least you wont get liver spots and the hunchback that old age causes!

Have you seen an Endocrinologist and Dietitian yet or just your General Practitioner?\n\nPlease don't go on any of those fad diets they can do more harm than good.  You really are going to have to do a overhaul on your lifestyle.  First of all you need to be checking you glucose levels regularly.  If before a meal your levels are high .. do not eat .. you will have to do something aerobic to break down the sugars .. walking should do the trick.  Just make healthy choices and keep you meals small.  Small meals are going to be key in maintaining tight control.  You can still eat fruits and small amount of bread and starches you just have to do it in moderation.  Please get with a dietitian as soon as possible they will get you on your way.

I have PCOS (it used to be called stein leventhal syndrome) it is hereditary and every woman who has it has different symptoms and experiences so medications are on a case by case basis. There is a strong link to insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) so a diet that minimizes bad carbs is helpful. I have had difficultly in the past but I am about to have baby number 4 and I got my insulin resistance under control with diet and exercise - I still have weight problems but my blood work has improved. Talk with a reproductive endocrinologist for more detailed information. I hope this all helps.
