How high? How irregular? Brian , you previously mentioned this in relation to increasing your
Glucophage, and also that you have had similar problems all your life. It sounds to me beyond the
medical ability of a newsgroup, and probably not directly related to your diabetes. Time to see the
doc, probably for a stress ecg or some other proper diagnostic procedure to correctly analyse the
true cause of your heart arrhythmia.

Ben to cardio doc, says its diabetes related. Had stress tests. etc. Asking news group about similar
experiences. OK?

No problem, but it's a question that had to be asked. Specifically, very high sugars (over 180 or
10 mmol) give me a tight feeling in the forehead, and I feel flushed, but no arrhythmia that I
have noticed.

More detail may help others reply with more benefit.

Although I've had the odd "extra heartbeat" (not as much an irregular heartbeat) for many years now
- decades, in fact - over the past few years it's gone really severe - sometimes every heartbeat.
I've had all sorts of tests done, including an ECG, a 24 hour Holter Monitor, Ultra Sound and a
stress test. All tests indicate that the extra heartbeat is not dangerous - I often tend to hop on
my bicycle when it happens, so I am certain it's not dangerous, however it's driving me crazy,
especially at night. This, of course, is probably not the problem the original poster has. In my
case the "extra heartbeat" is definitely tripped off by stress. then it stays like that for weeks,
sometimes months. In my case, I know what I need - to retire to Cairns, and sit at the Mosman Gorge
park, next to the Mosman River, and watch Ulysses butterflies sail by as I read a book.....

Yes, I know what you mean. I got lucky. I burnt my bridges and decided on a change in life back in
'99. After I sold in Melbourne and bought up here, local real estate boomed. You may remember an ANZ
ad that said: "your house made more then you did today". They were right, so I let it do the work
now. Sort of balances all those years picking up drunks for a living 15 hours a day. I go along with
the "what goes around comes around" theory. Sort of serendipitous that the boom occurred around the
same time my diagnoses came in.
