I seem to have got off lightly from the fall some bruises and sore,have a few other problems and waiting for tests.I still feel so lucky..Thank you for asking.Bernadette

Please make sure all is well. I fell down the stairs a year ago and didn't think too much about it... I just had knee surgery to fix a tear. More complications arouse due to the time I did not go to the dr in the first place. I hope you are well.

Thank you,I have other health problems at the moment waiting for some tests so could have done without this,that is life, just so lucky to have got this far...

Take care of yourself. I fell off a ladder last year painting the ceiling. I was not seriously hurt but it took me ages to get over the shock.

Thank you for your care and advise.Bernadette

Yes trauma can make your sugar go sky high. Also being sick can. Wait a lillte bit to get over the trauma and then test your blood agian. Hope you heal quickly Suzanne

Thank you, still high this morning,

Yes, shock can even bring diabetes on. My mother had a knee replacement (no diabetes) ,when she went 3 months later to get the other knee done she had very bad diabetes. Dr said it was caused by shock from the first operation. I am a diabetic on Insulin. Not enough space here to write about it. LOL. Hugs Marg

Thank you.

I also have it, have had Charcot Foot as a happy little gift from diabetes, it affects the bones in your feet, breaking them. I was told if you get it you won't have the other foot get it, haha guess what? I told two Dr.'s who told me that, that it would happen to me. It did, less then 2 yr's later. BUT the main reason I am writing is this. My internet buddy from MI sent me an article online about taking Cinnamon cap;s. My A1C was 11. After taking the cinnamon cap's for 3 months, it came down alot!! Now for almost 2 yr's it has run right around 6. I swear, I don't have the site but do a search online about it. I have told my other Drs and nurses that I know to tell everyone to at least TRY it..can't hurt you. It's in the vitamin area of Walmart etc. Good luck and sorry this is a long read. Nan who has funny looking shoes and I still walk funny! LOL

I have never heard of Charcot Foot and I have been a diabetic for about 35 years. I have heard that taking Cinnamon will lower blood sugars. hugs Marg

I knew it could affect your feet, never put a name to it
Thank you.

thanks or the heads up about Cinnamon haven't hears of this helping but will give it a go

Yes, stress, illness, shocks. It can be climbing during a cold, etc. and you don't notice, and then later wowie! Why it's so important to take care of yourself always, and take care of your feet, get your eyes checked each year! Love and take care. Be calm and return to better sugars!

That must have been heart breaking, so sorry,Thank you .

Yes, stress can cause the blood sugar to jump even when you are eating properly. If you are not too sore from the fall, a walk around the block would help. If you don't get better, call your doc.

Than you, I am walking and very lucky.

Can happen after shock, injury or illness. Take it easy for a while till you are under control again. Best wishes!!!

Thank you,

Oops, did you have a dietary lapse or did it just spike all on it's own? That's a scary thing. I'm so happy you didn't break any bones.
