So I’m a week into my diagnosis and treatment and two days into carb counting.
It’s still all so long in a such a whirlwind.
Anyway after a a kind of good day numbers wise for me since diagnosis I was cooking and 10 minutes before eating I took my calculated dose of insulin.
About an hour later I felt light headed, sweaty and faint so I tested my blood sugar it was 4!!! (I have been running in the high teens all week)
So I panicked and thought I was going to pass out and ate what I could find, forgetting everything my nurse had told me. I ate flapjack and Belvita x2 ( this is all wrong probably) as they were nearest to me and I was and I rested again after ten minutes and it’s started to climb and I felt better.
HOWEVER.
I’ve just done my before bed Glucose and it’s at 23 and now I’m panicking even more that I’ve made myself even more ill because of my stupidity?!
