Hi all,

I have had problems with very low blood sugars fo awhile now but recently it has turned completely in the other direction I have very high readings 16 to 17. Does anyone know if this is linked to the op side effects and or deficiencies of vitamins.

Cheers.

I think the only way to find out is to have your vitamin / mineral levels checked. If you have changed your diet, this might give you a clue about the blood:sugar, but wild variations do occur.

Not sure what you mean by blood sugars of 16 or 17. Is that measurement in Mmol/L? If so, that would be about 300mg/dL, which is quite high.

Before offering anything, I just want to be on the same page. \w

What method are you using to measure your blood sugar and how often are you doing this per day with particular reference to meal times ?

I use a meter and take my readings first thing in the morning and when I feel rough
