My dad has type 2 diabetes for which he takes insulin daily.
He has a wee test kit thing that makes a pin prick in your skin to extract some blood which you them place on a small strip, you then insert the strip into a machine and it reads out the level of sugar in your blood.
Today, I tested myself (just for the sake of it coz i was bored - not because i was feeling unwell or anything) and my blood sugar was 21.2, my dad said this was extremely high and I should make an appointment to see my doc ASAP.
My dad reckons my blood score should have been around 5 - 6 !!
I should mention that for breakfast I had eaten a full scottish breakfast, a small pineapple tart and about 10 liquerice allsorts, 0h and a bag of KP Dry Roasted nuts
Could my result have been a peak as my body was sorting out the sugar, shouldn't my normal self produced insulin prevent my blood sugar from ever reaching this level?
Do I have a problem or is this normal after haven eaten a load of shit?
