Hi , so it really looked like I had it beat the last few days but it came back with a vengeance today.
Day started with a rather high fasting reading of 7.2 this morning. I wasn't overly concerned and had my breakfast of two scrambled eggs then set of to station for morning commute walk is about 25 minutes at brisk pace. Got on to train and set of for London. About 15 minutes into journey started to feel very hot, sweaty and clammy, dizzy and sick nearly fainted. This has never happened before and I was helped of the train by others at the next stop. Station staff looked after me after staggering and falling over a bottle of water and a ten minute wait I felt a wave of recovery sweep over me. Eventually continued to work and tested bloods,a massive spike of 11.2 ( I haven't had a reading like that since first week of diagnosis) I think I had a false hypo and the liver dump kicked in to address what it read as a hypo. Wonder what you guys think? Bloods were back down in fives within 3 hours and I ate nothing between breakfast and lunch. All a bit embarrassing really. PS I,m a type 2 only on metformin.
