I have been type 2 fir 5 years now so you would expect me to be able to control my blood sugar's well and to know how to lower them when high.
Yet, I still have no idea food wise, on this area. Low levels, easy, small amounts of sugar stuff and fruit juice but come to high levels and I'm stuck.
My GP says excercise, yes, that's good considering I'm in a wheelchair! I asked for a diaticians referral (due to Covid and missed appointments, the system automatically generated the DNA and send back to GP). She did refer me to a group session but after talking to them they said it was no good to me.
My GP just adjusted the med's and most if consultations on my blood sugars are done via the pharmacist.
So...
To my biggest issue...
Yesterday I was at the hospital for an appointment. I was waiting to be picked up and suddenly felt I'll like I needed food urgently. I was shaky, my heart rate was racing, and I really felt I'll.
The cafe was useless for me, as my dietary restrictions and allergies prevented me from having virtually everything there. So I had to choose what I could eat but not necessarily what I should eat. My blood sugar's were 15.2 at this time
A pear, a Bakewell tart, a packet of shortbread biscuits and apple juice.
I had some sugar free sweets but I'm not sure how good they were in this situation but ate two of them.
The lady got a nurse to see me because I was feeling so unwell and sleepy with a headache.
They took my blood sugar and they were at 12.3 that was I'd guess about 20-30 mins after my reading.
How can I control my blood sugars!? What can I eat when they are high to prevent this happening again?
