Hello everyone.
My diagnosis of Type 2 came as no surprise to me, as a chronic fatigue sufferer of some 6/7 years with a relatively sedentary lifestyle (A world away from my previous life where i played pro sports - Not to elite level, unfortunately )
My BG level at diagnosis was 19, and in the 8 days since diagnosis, with a complete 180 on diet, I have got my levels down to within the parameters of normal, at all times. Until this morning that is; when my BG was at 7.6 first thing
I then had a bowl of cheerios with skimmed milk for B/fast, and my BG was at 10.8, 2 hours later. How has that happened?
I had 5 small crackers with laughing cow cheese spread and babybel about an hour before bed last night, which maybe would explain the 7.6 this morning, i suppose? but why the jump from 7.6 after B/fast, when its the same B/fast I've had for the last 3/4 days, and it never affected my levels before?
For some reason I was dehydrated this morning despite drinking well over 2 litres of water yesterday, and my urine was a fairly dark colour.
Can dehydration put my BG up?
Great forum BTW. I actually joined about 2 weeks ago, before I was diagnosed, but have just got round to posting, as I have spent a lot of time going through the posts containing some wonderful advice and information.
P.S Some crazy things happening with my eyesight. I can now see distances perfectly, including small print, for the first time in about 5 years, but I need to hold my iPad at arms length to read it, which i can do perfectly, as my reading glasses no longer work.
From research I see that this isn't uncommon, and could also be temporary, so no need to throw away the glasses just yet.
Anyone else experience this, and the eyesight improvement was permanent ?
Jon
