Sugar levels fluctuate throughout the day as you eat,exercise,relax and do various things including medication.Unusual spike like in your case may be due to inadequate insulin or insulin resistance.Most likely your food intake is not matched by your daily physical activity.Please review your life style with regards to food,exercise,relaxation and medication ,if any.Most likely you will arrive at a solution.I have some general suggestions which you may consider and adopt to suit your needs:

Management of sugar levels is a tough job but is not impossible if you realize that the task is essentially in your own hands. The doctor or dietician may guide you but ultimately it is you who has to put into practice all that has been learnt. Diet control makes maximum difference in a diabetic condition. Avoid sugar,sweets,and any food that is loaded with sugars like mango,banana etc. Also avoid vegetables like potato,beet, etc that grow underground and contain plenty of starch. Eat more of sprouts,vegetables and greens that give you fiber,minerals and vitamins. Eat less of rice,wheat and other cereals rich in carbohydrates and demand more insulin for converting to energy. The idea should be to reduce consumption by least 200 to 300 calories per day to gain significant results.

After diet,exercise plays a very important role. Walking or jogging for 40 to 60 minutes a day will improve your glucose metabolism significantly and spend about 200 calories.Management of sugar levels is a tough job but is not impossible if you realize that the task is essentially in your own hands.

Last but not the least one should lead a stress free life style. Stress is a recognized trigger for diabetes. Practice relaxation techniques like breathing exercises,yoga etc.

You should go for quarterly check ups and annual comprehensive review with an experienced diabetologist and follow the prescriptions scrupulously

Ultimately the most important person in your diabetes management is Y O U.

diabetes is a psycho neurotic : counselling works best; when all the stress is reduced to zero, there is no diabetes - this works .. try it out .. not much else is reqd..
