    And I tested after eating it was 3.2 I think. Or 3.8. So before I ate when shaky I don't no. Rather quickly for a 7.0 wake up isn't it to drop so fast I'd taken my lantus

    Yes and I've never had a uti. I'm seeing my endocrinologist 10 august so I will tell him and hopefully we can get to the bottom of it. It only happens when my bs are high. Like 28 tonight.

    Frequent toilet visits
