sugar level

[lboser1]

I woke up at 10:30 this morning. I have not eaten since 8pm the night before. I had a banana for breakfast. at 3 pm
I started to get shakey and light headed, and I took a reading. To my surprise it was 264. I am on 25 units of Glargine, 10 mg glipazide, which I take before bedtime. Why would my level be so high?????

"Why would my level be so high?????"

This is difficult to ascertain without knowing your bedtime, morning fasting, preprandial [before meal], and postprandial [2-3 hours after meal] glucose levels. Other questions that will help:
• Are you eating a diabetic diet?
• All you ate was the banana at breakfast?
• Any foods/snacks between breakfast and 3pm?
• Any juices or energy drinks from breakfast to 3pm?
• When and how often do you test?

Start testing to see which foods affect your glucose levels. And, of course, maintain normal body and perform 30-60 mins of daily exercise. If your levels remain high it may be time to see your doctor for adjustments to your medications. Good luck
