Feeling dreadful

[snowball12]

Hi, so sorry you are having such a bad time. Can you buy your own glucose monitor. That's what I did and I try to follow a low carb diet. Do you take Metformin SR much better on the stomach. I think you should see your GP again as I don't think you have Type 2. Hope things improve for you

@Caroline when you have more than a minute would you please tell us what your day to day BG meter results are saying now ?

@trophywench i think I am doing quite well with regard to blood sugars. Most around the 8 mark. Had pasta one evening and it shot up so won’t be doing that again. Today I was 8.5 before breakfast and 2 hours later was 7.2 so I presume that is ok! Didn’t test before lunch but before dinner was 7.6. Need to test again in about half an hour but I feel ok so hoping it will be fine.

Today is the first day I have been up all day which I am very pleased about. I am hoping to go back to work on Friday but my eyes are still quite blurry so will have to wait and see.

@trophywench Mmmm just tested after dinner… 14.6 which seemed way off so tested again and it was 8.5. No idea which was correct though. I am assuming 8.5

I am assuming 8.5

I'd assume that, too. Always wash and dry your hands before testing!

Phew! - that does look a LOT better - thanks for doing this.

Give it another hour and test again to check and make sure - but it really depends on how much of what you had for your dinner!

I only had fish, leeks and mushrooms so nothing carb high.
I will test again later to double check.
