Silly question but I was just thinking now it’s march it will probably head towards hayfever season soom which i get. So just thinking can hayfever affect blood augers?
 
Yes, really bad hay fever can, I find. Also, watch out for the anti-histamines. A few lower my blood sugars.

Just choose wisely - I tend to stick to what I’ve had before.

I’ve found Cetirizine ok. That’s the name of the drug. It’s in lots of different brands. Just watch your blood sugar and you should be fine 🙂
 
I get bad hay fever so have been told, by my asthma/COPD nurse, to take my antihistamines every day to build up a resistance - they have no affect on my BG (there are days when I forget to take them). I didn't get diagnosed until toward the "end of the season", but even then my BG was quite static. Mine can start in February and go through to end of September/early October. I've already begun sneezing - here comes Spring 🙄
 
I use citrizine. I read somewhere to stay away from ones that make you drowsy cos of possibly masking blood sugars going low.
