Hi everyone, last month I was diagnosed with Type 2 and I posted a thread about a random BG Reading I had and someone suggested I ask here.
My H1Ba was 88 when diagnosed, I suffer from a bit of anxiety so the first few weeks I had tension headaches etc but once I brought a glucose tester and saw my readings were quite consistently good (4/6 before food, 6/7 after) and the more information I gathered I become a lot more positive, this is however till the last few days where I had a crazy day where I ate completely the wrong things and spiked as high as 9, I slowly came back down but before I went to bed I tested again and my result was 3.7 which I started to panic as I’d never had this before, after drinking a fizzy drink it went up to normal and was fine the next morning, and lunchtime, however when I had my evening meal I tested 9 before my meal and 5 after?
My testing today has been consistent apart from trying a new breakfast
Woke up - 4.9
8am ate breakfast
9am BG 8.5
9.45am BG 6
10.30am BG 5.5
1pm 4.5 before lunch
1.30pm BG 6.2
2.15pm BG 6.3
That’s what I have so far, I don’t know how quickly BG goes down to hypo etc, do those levels look normal at first glance and was the last 2 days just random?
I haven’t changed what I’ve been eating the last month, I’ve been having carbs most days which I know is bad and I’m in the process of changing that
