Hi guys, I'm on 1g of metformin/day. Been low carb for about 6 weeks. Have been unwell with asthma issues over the last couple of weeks, was on a 5 day course of steroids over last weekend, bg was higher than normal but only up to 10 and 11 thankfully and was anticipated. Asthma's not right again today and been in pain the majority of the day but nothing particularly new there.
Not had many carbs today, somewhere around 10g, had a double sausage and egg mcmuffin, less the muffin for breakfast, with some carrot sticks. Went shopping etc came home, about 1.30pm had a couple of slices coconut bread with butter and marmite and a couple of babybels, then about 4pm started feeling queasy, so tested 6.7, steadily feeling worse so tested again after washing my hands and tested 5.7 felt mentally foggy and really not great, partner told me I should have a choc bar (haven't had a choc bar for over a month, didn't really want one either) end up having 3 Haribo sweets, as soon as the first one hit I started feeling a lot less queasy, so had the other 2, then followed with a Lidl protein roll with butter and marmite.
Not feeling 100% but feeling significantly better.
I wasn't anywhere close to hypo range but felt seriously unwell.
My partner thinks it's related to the amount of pain and possibly the asthma which kind of makes sense but I have been intermittently fasting during the week and not felt like this.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
