Not sure what is happening, but for the last few weeks I have had swings between very low (2.5) and very high (between 14 and 18.9) which today was a new high of 21.8 via the GP reading.
After suffering the issues from having continual high blood sugars, a few weeks ago I visited the GP following a couple of hypo's and when they tested mine after treating with sugar stuff, it was then 9.6 but was 14.2 but by time seen the Acute team, was down to 10.6. So the GP was called and he changed my dosage of the Gliclazide down to one tablet in the monring and a half tablet at evening meal. This was supposed to correct the hypers. I also take Alogliptin 12.5 twice a day.
This week, I've had two hypo's, one a few days ago at 2.5 and then one this morning at 2.7. I was surprised at this as first thing this monring it was 6.9, so couldn't understand the huge drop in just a couple of hours. However, I have been extremly tired over the last two nights, going to bed before 9pm, which is very unusual for me.
My reading after tea last night before I went to bed early was 14.7, so it was nice to get a good reading. However, that feeling was very short lived. These are my blood sugar readings for today....
06.33 - 6.9
10.23 - 2.7 Had a ham and tomoto roll plus a herbal tea to try to raise. Tested half hour later.
11.04 - 15.0
12.15 - 21.8 GP reading
14.37 - 12.9
16.18 - 12.1
As well as being tired, I am also hungry, so whereas normally its around 5 when I need dinner, the last few days its been turning 4pm and I'm looking for food but I am trying to avoid eating before meal time to control the hyper's but I'm not sure if that is the right thing to do. I know for hypo's I have to eat sweet things but I don't know too much to prevent too high a rise or to lower when having a hyper..
I thought eat the roll first, test after ten minutes then if still low, eat the banana but obviously, with it being so high, decided against it. Hearing the GP say that it was even higher, I am so glad that I hadn't eaten the banana. I know exactly how to treat the hypo's having suffered with continual low sugars for so many years. Its how to sort out my high blood sugars I just can't seem to get right.
As well as the issues with the blood sugars, I am also having issues with right sided pain which radiates to my back. It gets quite bad and sometimes feels like a huge pressure and I can hear myself wheezing internally, so presuming whatever is happening is causing my side to swell and hence the wheezing.
Talking to the GP, he thinks that maybe the right sided pain I've been having for the last month or so, could be related to the diabetes as this only seems to have been happening since I've been having issues with my high blood sugars. Has anyone else experienced this?
