Ok so at a 2 hour post meal test you are looking for no more than a 2-3 mmol rise, you have only gone up 1.8 so that is very acceptable x6.9 before and a slice of whole grain toast and butter
Any excuse for a "cuppa" 🙂. Sorts the world outI also find hugging a hot cup of tea for a few seconds gets the blood flowing! Have they showed you how to test. Use side of your fingers near nail bed. Make sure no food or lotions on your hands which could affect your reading.
That's ok Becky, how long now is it since you had your breakfast, and don't be sorry, ask as many questions as you like until you feel comfortable with things and this could still be years down the line so continue to ask 🙂 xThanks everyone.... I'm sorry to ask so many questions...I've gone from 6.9 to 8.7 to now 5.9 should it go up and down so much
Awww Becky so sorry to hear thisSo after another big drop this afternoon (3.1) and a return to doctors, I'm now signed off work awaiting a specialist.. Feeling kinda lost now, I'm eating healthy in a bid to lose weight, and I seem to be getting worse not better.
I was diagnosed about a year ago Hb1a was 54, put straight on to dapagliflozin as I can't take metaformin. Stayed on that for awhile lost 5 stone, 3 months ago added trulicity to combat constant hunger, all was fine until Tuesday. Now this diabetic nurse is telling me my bloods where low just on dapa and shouldn't been on both, so took me of that and left the trulicity but no improvement really I'll go up to 8.7 after breakfast but then drop after lunch and through the afternoon... Nurse rung tonight she is emailing a specialist team.... but what should I be asking, from what I've read my original level wasn't that high, i think I was put on medication as I have a lot of weight to lose... and I have a couple of auto immune conditions
