    I'm not going to venture a guess. With your glucose levels being high that's be the first thing that'd cross my mind. Those symptoms could be a number of things. Call your doctor. I see patients with late or missed periods for a large number of issues. I hope you feel better ASAP.

    Shelia your levels are to HIGH!!! I think its time to go to the doc and get a complete physical. They can do a blood test that will let you know if you are in menopause. They can also get your sugar under control.

    That can be found out in a jiffy by getting an FSH blood test. I wish mine would end. It's still going strong at my age!

    I think making an appointment for a checkup & a chat would be the wisest course of action and will most put your mind at ease. Feel better!

    I was gonna tell you your levels are to high also.
    If you are a diabetic, then that could also be the problem with you being late. Mine was right the opposite. I had so many different things going on with my body. I was always tired, cranky, my whole body hurt and my monthly cycle was ugghhh! After going to the Dr and being put on meds cause I'm pre-diabetic he said. It straightened everything out. Please get yourself checked. With your levels being that high it could damage your body.

    I know I need to go and get tested for diabetes as well, my mom had it and she was diagnosed with it in her late 40's which where I am now.. Thanks.. I am one of the unfortunate ones that has no health insurance, but I am going to find me a clinic that does things on a sliding scale I have found a couple. So in the next few days I will go get myself a complete physical.

    I'll hold you to it! A good idea is to keep a diary of your glucose levels leading up to the appointment. Make sure that you do them near the same time each day and write down the time each was taken, before a meal, after a meal, time of day etc... Also, keep a journal of what you're eating.
