Walter that sounds tough! I know the struggle but I found that the libre is helping me out atm. Also I’ve started doing an almost no carb diet and it’s working great for me. The good thing about the libre is that I get to experiment so I can see what the different foods are doing to my sugar levels! I also noticed when I’m stressed my blood sugar levels start to rise. It’s easy to say don’t stress and harder to do, I totally understand but I’ve learned with diabetes I have to make sure it’s a priority. You can do the same without a libre you’ll just have to test more than usual when it comes to food. I hope that’s helpful QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1902930, member: 345386"]Gosh Walter, sounds like you've had an awful lot to contend with.
Unfortunately, stress and bereavement can make our sugars run riot, so if your bereavement was relatively recent, this may be in play.
For T2s, our diet tends to be key in how well our sugars respond to things. Annoying, but there we are.
I know you've said you've cut back on the sugar and carbs; did you see a positive impact on your numbers when you did that, on a day to day basis? Maybe there are some tweaks to your way of eating that could be helpful.
I really am so sorry to hear of your loss. You clearly still feel it very keenly.
Walter, to be honest, I think your question might get more responses in a thread of it's own. This thread you have responded to is in the Pregnancy section of the forum, so might not have too many T2s watching it.
If you would like it to be a thread for you, I (or any of the Mods) can move it for you. Just let us know.[/QUOTE]
