at what reading does one go to the hospital? >at what reading does one go to the hospital? Please add a lot more information - presumably you mean BG readings - but symptoms and other medical aspects are relevant. My attitude would be - if you feel it's necessary, but you're not sure, go ASAP. Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 2x500mg  SignatureEverything in Moderation - Except Laughter. Maybe i am wrong, but I took it as a joke.' Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. my bgs are normally 200-275 w/o meds. I'm on byetta 10 2x daily anf 10 glipizide with the byetta, along with 224mcg of synthroid and 15 coumadin and foltex. with the byetta and glipizide my bgs are 66-115. i could not afford my diabetes meds for about 2 months i started back on them on monday. a nasty yeast infection will get one to find funds fast. my bgs were high 200 - low 300s. since going back on the meds i have been no lower than 259 but have seen 567, 598, 524, a few 300 and 400s. at first i thought i might be getting sick but i am just extremely exhausted but not suffering from aches pr pains or signs of cold or flu, just this yeast infection. I haven't eaten anything to spike my numbers. At least nothing I haven't normally eaten. Thanks Anais >my bgs are normally 200-275 w/o meds. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Thanks Anais Your initial question was "at what reading does one go to the hospital?" Those numbers certainly look high enough to me to get medical attention fairly urgently. Like now. One side question: what do you "normally" eat? Answer it when you get back from the doctor.

You have high numbers, making it difficult for the infection to heal. You have an infection driving the numbers up. Catch 22. A little extra help is needed to get things under control. And don't worry about the HTML mistake, health trumps mistakes like that every time. Let us know what the doc says and how you are doing.

I called my doc he said keep up with the byetta until monday and give him a call to let him know how things were. So far my yeast is much less but still here, and especially bad at night. my bgs have been mis 200s to low 300s in the past 3 days. I am not tired anymore and thankfully able to return to work and go about my regular schedule. As far as what I normally eat.... In the morning sometimes 2 eggs and sausage with a diet coke with lime and half a bagel with margarine or cream cheese. A lot of times it is left overs from dinner the night before and an apple or orange. (it is either the fruit or the bagel but never both) in the afternoon either fruitwater or s.pellegrino a (club or tuna) salad from subway with just vinegar, a small bag of chips or popcorn. dinner some pasta not much less than a serving or a small potato with butter and sourcream and a meat. snacks occassionally frozen oj in the 3ounce plastic cup i find if i freeze the oj the 3ouces satisfies my craving and lasts longer than me guzzling down a large glassful. or some nachos, microwave popcorn (a small bag lasts for 3 snacks) or a piece of fruit. I drink more than a gallon of water a day. anais >Thanks everyone. >I called my doc he said keep up with the byetta until monday and give [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >anais Hi anais If in doubt about what I'm about to say - check with your doc (read my sig). I think you need to see how much those foods are affecting you. There are things that you are eating that ring alarm bells. You wrote this earlier: "my bgs were high 200 - low 300s. since going back on the meds i have been no lower than 259 but have seen 567, 598, 524, a few 300 and 400s." Try an experiment tomorrow. One day won't kill you for you to learn something. Try going an entire day without eating ANY of the following foods: bagel apple orange chips pasta potato oj nachos or any other starch or fruit. You can eat as much as you like, just for tomorrow, of the other foods you listed. Meats, eggs, salads (not potato salad), vegetables, but NO starchy foods or fruit or juices. Just for one day. Keep the OJ handy, just in case - but only for emergencies in case of lows. It's possible you'll get the shakes even if you're over 100 coming down from those numbers - that's when you can have the OJ or a half-bagel. If you go low, test and eat or drink a little, then test again in fifteen minutes. While trying this experiment, test 90 minutes after each meal or snack. If it's over 200, test again an hour later. Note the food and the numbers and let us know what happens. Cheers Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 2x500mg I have no medical qualifications beyond my own experience.

Your doc seemed remarkably unconcerned when he said "I called my doc he said keep up with the byetta until monday and give him a call to let him know how things were."
