It really does seem like you might be type 1.5 or something, that seems unusual for a type 2 to get that high with basically no carbs!1 -

I just got blood results from Endo and they said I am not autoimmune or 1.5. I did have quite a bit of carbs earlier in the day and more diet soda than usual (only a couple glasses of water), could that have done it?0 -

@ConleighS ,
Yes, it could...not the diet soda but the carbs earlier in the day...
Back in January/February 2017, when I was very sensitive to carbs and ate more carbs than my pancreas could deal with at breakfast or lunch, my blood sugars would go up, typically to 200 or more and just stay there since my pancreas was out of insulin & I didn't inject enough meal-time insulin (Novolog) to assist my pancreas in dealing with the carb load that I ate. My blood sugar would stay that high for hours, like 12-24, only slowly coming back down to the 120's. It takes time for the pancreas to "re-stock" its insulin storage so it's ready to deal with the next carb load.
I know for myself, if I have a binge and eat a lot of carbs, I'll deplete my pancreas of its insulin such that for the next 3 days I'll need to increase the amount of meal time insulin (Novolog) I'd normally need to inject for that same meal if I hadn't binged. That's why I now try to spread out my carbs throughout the day so as not to "overload" my pancreas (stressing it) during any one meal. It also helps to check blood sugar level at the beginning of each meal (at least) so one has an idea of what's driving those blood sugars higher & can make "adjustments" to the next meal before eating or in my case, adjusting my meal time insulin (Novolog) dosage.
