Hi All,
I'm starting to feel really overwhelmed with everything and am feeling anxious about going back to work next week after my diagnosis as I am concerned I will not be able to manage my blood sugar very well. I am mostly concerned about lunch time as my BG seems to be going down to just over 4 when I check it two hours after lunch even when I've had bread. Does this mean I need to increase my carbs or am on too much medication?? I am on 4 units of insulatard twice a day and 80mg of gliclazide twice a day. I ate 2 boiled eggs, a slice of bread and an alpen bar today and BG was 4.3 after 2 hours.
I thought I was coping quite well but I feel like the more I read the more anxious I feel.
