Thanks for writing dlife - you don't give me a lot of information to go on. First if your blood sugars are consistently over 200, you are not on enough insulin or on the right insulin at the right time. You don't say if these episodes are daily, certain times of the day, before or after meals. All this is critical information for your physician. Also be sure you are checking blood sugars when you have these episodes. Keep good records & Contact him/her as soon as possible!
