[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1629802, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome [USER=455510]@Princenaz[/USER] Chocolate isn't a good choice if you are genuinely hypo because it contains a lot of fat which slows down the absorption of the sugar. For a hypo (low blood sugar) jelly babies are good, and also dextrose/glucose tablets. However, if it was a hyper (high blood sugars) then this would be completely the wrong treatment. You need to know. You really need to know what all your test results were, and on what basis your doctor diagnosed you as T2. Please ask him for a print out of your test results. You can then see which tests you had and what the results were, and be able to analyse them yourself - with help from us if you need help understanding them. Do make sure you get hold of a blood glucose meter and plenty of test strips. You can then see what is happening, and when. Keeping a food diary and recording your levels alongside the food will help, especially if you add some notes about it. If your episodes were low blood sugar ones, it implies a possibility of reactive hypoglycaemia. There is a sub forum on this condition that you may find interesting.
