Hi noshy!
Glad your test went ok ish.
How you feeling now?
I'm impressed that, even with a LC diet for months, your body was able to stop you going over 8.7.
That's amazing.
It takes me a fortnight of reintroducing carbs to wake my pancreas up to deal with that kind of input. And I'll shoot up into the mid/high teens sooo easily.
And I'm curious - what did they give you to stop your hypo?
On dreams, I get weird dreams, even nightmares if I go low in my sleep. But that is based on feeling low because I've never had the gumption to wake up, record the weird dream, and use my meter. And memory fades so fast, doesn't it?
I'm more likely to blink blearily, think 'Ha! Wot a horrible experience. I'm glad zombies don't really claw their way up through the mattress. Shouldn't have eaten that mango icecream!'
And try to get back to sleep...
I'm ok now!
Yeah the higher(ish) readings surprised me. That's the lowest spike I've recorded for that amount of carbs/sugar. The hypo was something not wanted tho! The drop was slower as well, more gradual, still as late as three and a half hours tho!
I believe that the gliptin is really helping me even tho I'm very low carbing. It is have an effect. That was my first hypo in a while, it's been that long that I can't remember. It floored me.
As I've said the glucose test was to see if the glipten stopped me going hypo, and how it was helping me. Also for his research. I am expecting a phone call. To discuss the next step.
A nurse walked in and said did I feel hypos, of course I replied. If you go hypo we'll give you another bottle of lucozade. No thanks, just a cuppa and a biscuit I said.
No! You have to treat a diabetic with glucose. She demanded.
I'm not diabetic I replied. The nurse that did my test who had already read my page on RH and how to treat it, butted in and said if you do that he'll spike and hypo again. If you read his pad. The info about RH is on it. So she did. She apologised and said that she had never heard of it.
Nothing changes does it?
Ho hum.
My dreams are weird but not nightmares, some have violence, but since I've been well, I've not had many, especially non to remember. I had a walking dream, just legs marching I think! I've had these a few times and always feel fatigued the day after. Especially my leg muscles. Go figure?
