How do I figure out what is driving my increase levels?

Hi! There are numerous reasons why blood sugars will increase; stress, illness, infection, less insulin produced over time from the pancreas and the types and quantities of food you are eating. Yes, bananas and grapes are carbohydrate sources that do require insulin however, it may be best to have an Endocrinologist evaluate your situation. If you have been on the same dose of insulin for a while now, you may require an adjustment. This may be a good time for a thorough evaluation as to why this is happening. In the meantime, take a look at what you are eating. Has your diet increased in carbohydrate grams at all throughout the day? If your diet has increased in carbohydrates at all and the insulin doses have not changed, blood sugars will increase. I hope this is helpful to you.

Fruit have natural sugars in them, so it may be just that. Are you type 1 or type 2? The simplest things can actually increase blood sugars, stress could be one of them. Decrease in exercise can also cause it as well. Talk with your doctor and see if he/she may have any suggestions or thoughts :)

My sugar levels have gone up when I have taken cough medication. Some medications have high sugar contents. I was suprised.
