What would cause a recent deterioration in blood glucose?
If your readings have recently changed, you should talk with your healthcare provider and diabetes-care team. Blood glucose levels can become higher if there is stress to the body such as pregnancy, illness, or infection. Decreased physical activity or increased food intake may also be responsible. Other things that can affect your blood glucose levels include improper insulin storage or inadequate injection techniques. Your diabetes-care team will want to review your diabetes-care plan with you to help you get your blood glucose levels back on track.
