I am ashamed to say I have been cheating (cheating myself obviously) by regularly snacking on carbs and lots and lots of sugary things. I have depression (taking fluoxetine) and, no excuse, but comfort eating is a downfall of mine I'm sorry to say. However, I am surprised that this sugar binge habit has had no effect on my blood sugar whatsoever! My readings keep falling between 6.0 and 6.5. I am suprised (relieved) that they are so low considering my sabotage and I wonder what you guys think? Today I ate a peanut brittle bar, a Fry's Turkish Delight and four Roses chocolates from a big tin. Two hours later....blood sugar 6.2. Are my meds too high (1.5g metformin and 2mg glimepride)? Am I not really diabetic after all? Am I still in danger of complications even though my blood sugar readings are good? I am confused. Can I just say before anyone bites at me..........I do know it is not a good idea to consume lots of sugary things whether you are diabetic or not (that's another issue for another day); my blood sugars have been taken on different machines and my own machine has been callibrated, same sort of results when done at the surgery, etc and also my long term average readings were 6.3 and 6.4 at my last two check ups with the diabetic nurse. So it's not faulty readings; I haven't had any hypos so it hasnt been very low at any time thereby bringing up the average. The only time it has been high since diagnosis was when I had pneumonia and was put on steroids (19.5). However, I do have a hypo if I don't eat regularly. So.....has anybody got any ideas as to why all the extra sweet stuff hasn't upped my blood sugars and am I still at risk of complications even if my blood sugars read well? Please advise. :***:
