Yes I know.. it’s all contradictory which is the part that stresses me.. I ….... But after showing the DN (who previously seemed supportive) my food diary and readings she was all ‘you’re eating too few carbs! And
you can’t risk being less than around 8-10 at bed time due to the risk of hypoglycaemia. Ideally you need to be eating more carbs at each meal to keep your BG consistent throughout the day then you’ll avoid low bed time readings and overnight hypoglycaemia.’
In my mind I’m thinking...’yes and staying low carb but ditching the afternoon gliclazide would have the same effect?..’ I tried to counter with this in around about way to be told ‘but this could lead to more hyperglycaemia episodes due to your steroids as the gliclizade would not be balancing these out.’
And round in circles we go... le sigh!
But thank you! And I’m sorry to vent.. I haven’t been posting as I’ve been so frustrated and moping. I might low carb and ‘forget’ the afternoon gliclazide dose.. see what happens. I know.. I’m terrible..
