Hi there, think most people go hot, but I too go very cold (like a cold sweat)and get a very warm feeling when its going back up.In fact in my experience,if I go out early on a cold morning it actually triggers a Hypo x

Yes<I agree the doctor is wrong,I am Type 2?MODY? and it was Hypos that led to diagnosis,I have gone as low as 2.2 (no diabetic medication) with all of your symptoms, I also get similar if my sugar is above 12mmol but not as bad.The key is keeping your levels as stable as you can so your not...

Hi there, actually I have Diabetes and go both High and Low on no medication, but I am a rather rare case I believe.I too have exercised daily for 27 years running a few miles a day and other exercise and the Hypos (as low as 2.2 - no medication) only began about a year and a half ago.If my...

Hi, highest around 18mmol, lowest 2.2mmol. am Type 2?Mody? No medication at present,, but have frequent Hypos and Highs,I know I am going low with anything in the 4s, feel shaky inside, start sweating,jelly legs, at 2.2 I am physically shaky, losing my rag and start slurring but manage to treat...

Re: Is it possible to have both Diabetes & Reactive Hypoglyc Hi there thanks for the reply,I was due to see Endo yesterday but have a terrible virus and didnt feel it was responsible to go spreading germs around the hospital so put it off until the 8th Feb.Have they done any other tests for...

Re: Is it possible to have both Diabetes & Reactive Hypoglyc Hi there, do you have Type 2? You sound very similar to me.My DB consultant did agree with me when I told her that certain people on this forum had experienced low blood sugars before diagnosis and that it happens in the early stages...

Hi there, this may be a strange queston but I am trying to get to the bottom of things after over a year, the Specialists still dont have the answers.I am supposedly Type 2 (? Mody) I was told by the Consultant at the DB clinic a few weeks ago, that I am the strangest case she or her colleauges...

Hi there, the HB1AC is a test which takes your average blood sugar over a period of 3 months I believe, totally different to the Glucose Tolerance Test x

Thanks Desidiabulum, I can see you are a MODY X, yes they have stopped my Gliclazde now, while I was on it my sugars were great and much more stable, not going above 10, but now I am back to square one really, and it even goes high wth protein foods, so I cant get them down on my own x

Thankyou Mary, no its far from straightforward x

Hi there, to try and cut a very long story short,I was diagnosed last October with Type 2 after 2 high fasting bs.I originally went as my Type 1 sister in law had tested me and I was high and had symptoms,tired, peeing etc.Then got myself a meter while waiting to see the nurse to find that my...

Sounds similar to Reactive Hypoglycemia, a large spike, then a crash, which can cause hypo symptoms x

She might have been wrong, but my Diabetes Nurse advised me that it is dangerous to exercise when sugars are at the 14 level. Is this true? My blood sugar frequently shoots between 10 and 14 while exercising(making me feel very giddy), does this mean I should stop running.I have told my...

Hi there, the thing about Type 2s not on medication cant have hypos is a myth.I was having them as low as 2.2 (felt rather ill)I think maybe this happens in the early stages,I just kept swinging low to high, high to low,I am more stable now on medication, as it does not go into the high teens...

Hi there,sounds lke a Hypo, especially if relieved with a can of coke and sounds like you used a lot of energy that morning! Take your meter with you to work you can check your bs level then x
