Controlled blood sugar around 95-100 for several years. Had shoulder surgery in December & average went up to.

Inflammation, antibiotics, some medications can kick up blood sugar. Make sure to watch your diet and ask your endocrinologist about any meds you've started on since the surgery.

Any time your body is under stress, it can cause a rise in your bs. Surgery is a major shock to your body and may have triggered imbalances causing your bs control to become unstable. It is not uncommon for type two or adult onset diabetics who are on oral antidiabetics or diet controlled therapies to temporarily have to go on insulin injection following an illness or injury to bring their diabetes under control. Once full recovery from illness or injury is achieved and conrtol is restablished, most can gradually return to non insulin control treatment under physicians care. Sounds like otherwise you are doing the right things with your diet and exercise. See your physician to se if a change in medications is needed.

If an inadequate amount of insulin is present in the blood allowing the BG to rise to about 250 to 300 mg/dl, then exercise may cause a further rise in BG rather than the expected drop. Low insulin coupled with physical activity stimulates the secretion of several other hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, glucagon, and growth hormone. Collectively these hormones trigger the liver to release glucose into the blood, thereby increasing the BG rather than decreasing it. The hormones also increase the breakdown of fat but limit the uptake of fat by muscle cells. The liver converts some of the fats to strong acids called ketones. The ketones may build up in the blood producing a state called ketoacidosis. This event is far more likely to occur in people with type I diabetes.

My diabetic son-in-law's doc told him that stress can be a contributing factor. Could that be the case for you?

You one of the ways you can lower blood sugar naturally is by taking cinnamon. Look in a health food store for the herb. Also watch your stress level, that can raise your blood sugar also.

Give yourself about 6 months. It takes that long for all the meds used for anesthetic to clear your body. your blood sugar should go back to normal.

It's so frustrating to do everything right and not get results! However, have others have said there are SO many factors at play, and some of it is out of your control. Do not give up. In spite of everything, you may need to change your medication regimen. Go in and discuss it with your health care provider. As much as I'm sure you don't want to do this, medication is better than walking around with blood sugar that is too high, damaging your vascular system. You sound like a very active person. You don't want to be robbed of this in the future due to complications of high blood sugar. Good luck.
