It is very frustrating to see high numbers, but unless you keep rechecking, you can't make insulin adjustments, whichcaneasily bring down your numbers. Trust yourself. High numbers a few times are not nearly as bad as being high and not checking at all. It sounds like you need to make minor adjustments with your insulin. Don't give up. Hang tough. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I had terrible problems with this. I never took a single BG for years. I believe it was a result of the way drs treated me - they told me off for high BGs. It is hard but I am trying to see them as just numbers. I also think of the consequences of ignoring those numbers.

I know its frustrating but keep checking so that you can adjust your insulin and bring the numbers down, as Farhaj says the high numbers not good but if you bring them down with your insulin its not too bad as they wont be high for long. If you dont check you will be leaving them high and you cant do that.
Write again if you need to.

I also think education is important - thats what helped me. Try to find a proper structured course if you can. It is hard because high BGs are bad from a health point of view. But they do not reflect on you as a person and this is where most drs get it wrong by conflating the two or at least not making a clear enough distinction. We do a very hard job which most people do not think about and take for granted. It is tough monitoring every bite and movement and drs also tend to forget this. They are focused on the number and the result and sometimes forget they have an emotional vulnerable living breathing human being in front of them rather than a robot who must be malfunctioning if it presents incorrect results. Real life changes all the time, you just cannot keep to a rigid schedule and sometimes you will have highs and lows, it is normal. But it is important to deal with these when they occur.
