Here is our list of things that take our flat lined blood glucose reading and shoot it up into the crazy zone:
1. The Dawn Phenomenon - That damn hormonal surge!
2. The Re bounder - The rebound high after an extreme low or rebound from an over night low called the Somogyi effect
3. Post Exercise Spike - Increased levels post intense exercise.
4. The High Blood Sugar made Worse by Exercise Spike - Different then the above.
5. The I'm Stressed Out Post Argument High - Also called the Post Terrible Meeting, Post Anyone who Stresses you out High.
6. The Dehydrated High - The I haven't had anything but coffee today spike.
7. The Site Change Spike - Good before the pump site change terrible after.
8. The Forgot to Bolus for my Meal High - Opps
9 The Fasting High - AKA I Forgot to Take my Bedtime Longacting.
10 The "where the hell did that one come from?" Spike - Which there is know rational explanation at all. AKA the Diabetic Curveball High
Feel free to add your own.
Cheers!

The Wrong Kind of Exercise High- why, why, why must I go high from weight lifting?! Actually, I now just inject for this kind of exercise.
The I-Panicked-When-My-Blood-Sugar-Hit-40 High- not really a rebound since it's my own damn fault.
The I-Just-Threw-Up High- I guess this isn't as bad as an I-Just-Threw-Up Low would be.
The About-to-go-out-for-birthday-dinner high: I've been good all day in preparation for splurging tonight, and I'm 300 before the bread basket arrives?!?
