[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1545479, member: 41816"] Hi again. Glad you have seen some improvement :) But i think if you are testing at 12 after a meal, then you are probably going significantly higher. Our tests are an indication, at a set time after eating, but with carbs in the meal we usually peak much higher soon after the food and then drop down by 2 hours. So your 12 was probably higher half an hour to an hour after food - and that is hard on the body. The rapid ups and downs are very tiring and wearing. There are a few studies (you can find them discussed on [URL='http://www.bloodsugar101.com']www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL]) that suggest type 2 diabetics are experiencing/risking further beta cell damage and long term complications the more time they spend with raised blood glucose. And those same studies show that 'raised blood glucose' is anything above 7.8 mmol/l. Well done for getting those vit tests done. That has eliminated quite a few options. Obviously, I can't say that your symptoms are definitely caused by your blood glucose levels/fluctuations. But I'm going to go out on a limb :) and say that even if your symptoms are caused by something else, if you manage to even out your blood glucose, you will feel somewhat better, even if the original problem persists. Doctors rarely tell you about how unpleasant the blood glucose fluctuations are. They don't experience them, and they think they are normal, and unavoidable. But those of us who manage to stay in the normal range of 4-7 mmol/l (by diet and/or exercise and/or medication) feel [B][I]so much better.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
