My usual range is 5.5 to 8. Occasionally up to 10 after eating. The lowest I’ve recorded when shaky and confused is 4.7 but sometimes I can be 7 during these symptoms. But mostly I’m too confused to remember to test.
Does anyone else get the symptoms of a hypo when their sugars are still above 4? I get dizzy, shaky and confused wihtout my blood sugar dipping below 4. If I am tired or stressed this will happen. If I haven't eaten it will happen too.
I do monitor my blood sugar and it is pretty clear the things that spike my blood sugar so i stay away from them. Stress, lack of exercise, alcohol and any carbs or sugar. I need a certain amount of good carbs otherwise I get very dizzy and shaky so I stick to oats, brown rice and sweet potato...
My doctor strongly advised me not to do the Newcastle diet as I don't have the weight to lose, but I have been thinking about it. Did it make a difference to you HBA1C?
I have already made as many dietary changes as I can. No alcohol, no sugar, no carbs etc...
