to start at the beginning. im type 2 so have a test meter at home.
over the last week my husband has been complaining about weeing a lot, not painful but often, so i thought it might be a water infection, as he was working ( shifts) he didnt get to see out gp until today, after i tested his bg with my meter, the reading i got was 18.8! told gp and booked for fasting bloods on monday. now tonight i tested his bg again before a meal and it was 17.1 and 2.5 hours after it was 25.8!! now im worried sick, i had him test his ketones ( ive got strips for that too) and its normal thank god!
im going to take his bg again in an hour, do i take him to A&E or wait???
i dont want to frighten him anymore then he already is ( not good with illness or stress)
hes not over weight, fit and healthy, drinks lagar couple of times a week, bad diet due to stupid shift patterns
im so worried i feel sick
