Last October my A1C was 6.7.. not bad. November 2, myself and all my collegues at work were laid off. We were stiffed our last month’s paycheck, unused vacation time, and no severance. I organized everyone and we got a lawyer to represent us on a contingency. This stress has jacked my BG numbers up. Now I’m 180 – 220 most of the time. I excercise regularly in the morning and at night and even that IS NOT helping. Usually I would wake up and my BG would be 90. Now it’s 190. After I burn 400 calories on my bike before I shower I spike to 220. I don’t eat breakfast until after I shower. I’m ready to just not eat at all to see. I’m having a hard time.. now the higher glucose has me wired. I didn’t sleep last night… mostly the thought of the job search
kept my mind occupied and I couldn’t let it go and sleep.
Because with the job search I was just thinking about the savings + unemployment benefits and projecting how long I can juggle it all.
Does this happen to you? When is it possible that excercise can’t bring the glucose level down ?
This sucks. 😡
