Diabetes & Blood SugarBlood Sugar High When Sick? Build a Sick-Day Plan
If your blood sugar is high when sick, do not chase one reading with improvised medicine changes or exercise. Follow your written sick-day plan, monitor at the intervals your care team set, keep track of fluids and symptoms, and ask when ketone testing applies. Get urgent help for breathing trouble, confusion, persistent vomiting, dehydration, or DKA warning signs.
Diabetes & Blood SugarBlood Sugar Spike After Exercise? What to Track
A blood sugar spike after exercise can happen, especially after intense intervals, sprints, heavy lifting, or competitive effort. Stress hormones can prompt the liver to release glucose, but food, medicine timing, illness, device lag, and starting glucose also matter. Record the pattern and follow your diabetes plan instead of adding insulin or repeating exercise on your own.
Lower screening score
0 points
A lower score does not rule out prediabetes or diabetes. Symptoms, pregnancy, ethnicity, medicines, and clinical history can change screening needs.
This educational checklist follows the point pattern used by the American Diabetes Association risk test. It cannot diagnose or rule out prediabetes or diabetes; diagnosis requires appropriate clinical testing.
These results are educational estimates, not a diagnosis or treatment plan. For personal medical advice, pregnancy guidance, chronic conditions, eating concerns, or medication decisions, speak with a qualified health professional.
