hi just wondered how others have got through the shakes ect when your sugar levels begin to come down from being high . i tend to start shaking around 8.9 and tend to eat sugar to stop it .but would love to here if you have some advice so i can get it low without this happening .

mine is usually 11- 12 at mo starting to come down no as i was taken off medication for a while because of complications.long way to go though.

i will take a look ,i certainly need some pointers . swop for swop i find most helpful my hba1c when this first showed in feb was 48 stable on metformin .and after being taken off all meds was59. then put on glimepiride .now taken off them and will have hba1c retested in two weeks.
