    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    6.2 this morning. Thought it would have been higher though because I went out for a meal last night, so pleased it's still in range. [emoji16]

    High Blood sugars and infections

    Thanks for your reply. To be honest the clinic haven't really explained anything about insulin. I have been told to use 6 units of fast acting insulin after my main meal and then 34 units of slow release at night. I've learned to tweak these depending on my blood results. My gp and clinic...

    Shaking

    How wrong was I. It turns out that the shaking was due to an infection, nothing to do with anxiety. The gp should have checked the results of the blood test that I had the week before where it shows that I had a raging infection rather than just jump to conclusions. I've been in hospital since...

    Hypos

    Is it possible to have a hypo if your bs is above 4? I've just had full on hypo symptoms, shaking, sweaty, feeling sick, headache, and when I tested my blood it was 4.2. I had a few jelly babies and my blood went up to 5.6 but I'm still feeling the after effects of a hypo. I'm a T2 on...
