I know that stress is supposed to make your numbers rise but I have definitely seen it fall. I think part of it might also be the type(s) of insulin being used. I think if you're using NPH, you can drop from a good reading to a low one very easily if stressed out. I wasn't on Lantus long enough to see if the same thing happened. Now I'm on a pump and have trouble keeping my numbers down. I have been very stressed about it, so that might have something to do with it. What insulin(s) are you using now? -- Liz I have no idea why sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down. I know
