Dear Sharon, Welcome to HCM, Looks like your stress is taking its toll on blood sugars. I wouldn't say you need to be alarmed but these readings are on the higher side. I would suggest you to get over your stress by diverting your mind or by using a mild anxiolytic like alprazolam. Check your sugars again. If they dont come down to near normal values you will surely need a like dose adjustment. Hope i have answered your query. Feel free to get back for any further clarifications. Dr.Riyaz Sheriff
