[QUOTE="viv k, post: 936311, member: 110575"] Hi Miracle, don't get too stressed, I know that's easy to say, but it's not going to help. I'm sorry to hear about the recent loss of your cousin, that's very sad news. It must be awful caring about your boyfriend and being scared for him and having to wait so long for him to get help. Hopefully your boyfriend's diabetes is not as severe as your poor cousin. I sympathise with the frustration you will both be experiencing in waiting for help in stabilising his condition. I have recently been diagnosed as LADA ,after a year of being told I was T2. I was started on small doses of insulin 2 weeks ago and am only slowly starting to see my BG levels come down. I've spent the last couple of months with before meal levels of 8-13 and 2 hours later mostly 11-16 (up to 19 sometimes). Each week of waiting for the specialist felt very long, people kept telling me not to worry, it was hard not to, but they were right. I know everyone's different and I am fairly new to all this, but if your boyfriend's levels are 5.5 before meals, he is probably a very different case to your cousin and he's going to be fine. While waiting for medical help, what I found very useful for getting my sugars down after meals was moving about. It didn't have to be a long bike ride or run (but that is great if you can), just walking for 30 minutes was good. Low carb eating is very useful. So get some low carb food in ( and I also recommend a little red wine, some cheese, some nuts), hold hands and go for a walk after your evening meal, or put on some music and dance, it might help those after meal spikes and hopefully it will help you and the man you care about.
