Theresa I've been diabetic for 36 uears diagnosed at the age of 5. I have had similar lows and highs in blood glucose reading. This started for me after i;ve been diabetis foe 23 years. At this time I was placed on an insulin pump. It is a challenge you do need to work with doctors very closelyand monitor all of your food intake(amounts of carbohydrates). It can be overwhelming in itself no matter how long you'e been diabetic. Any stress or injuries can make blood glucose levels fluctuate. When mine started I was weight lifting and droped 200lbs doing a bench press. At the time I didn't know I severed a nerve at C-5 in my neck losing all funtion lifing and numbing in both arms and could't feel them. Alot of the doctors I had been seeing thought it was neuropathy. I never questioned it at first and I started to think about my injury and how it happeded I kept on looking and searching 6 years and 8-9 doctors later and alot of physical thearapy later found I sereved a nerve  at the root in my neck at C-5. The Neurologist that found this was at the Mayo Clinic. It sometime takes determination to really find out your own problem. Diabetes affects so many things in the body but also especially the nervous system. I have been free of continual numbing for about a year now and without neuropathic drugs. I also feel natural products and herbs, are for me, the way to go. As always check with your doctors for treatment, My question for you is have you had any accidents or injuries prior to you blood sugar going haywire?  As Always Take Care Tamara
