She is due to have bloods soon they haven't been managing her diabetes very well I just wanted clarification or not whether giving her coffee with sugar in several biscuits and dextrose tablets is the correct way of treating it from what I thought I understood one of these would be enough...

The one to one doesn't worry me it's the I was under the impression that you treat a hypo with 15g of carbs and test then if still low repeat not just straight go in with sugar overload

Her level has been down to 3.4 senior said she's only just hypo but she was shaking and clammy they then gave her all three of the above and checked her blood which was then 7.8 then left her alone

They are giving her all three at once

I forgot to mention she is on gliclazide

Hi my mum is type 2 and is having hypos the care home where she is are treating this with 1 glucose ( I have told them several times how to do this they don't listen) aa cup of sweet coffee and biscuits is this OK are is it too much sugar??

Yes I test before and two hours after I am following slimming world and recipes tend to be lots of veg and meat with fat taken off if I have carbs I have very little maybe half a handful of rice or pasta it's working anyway as I have reduced my hba1c from 67 to 47 and I've lost 3 stone must be...

Yes I test my bloods regularly I've never really tested after white bread because since diagnoses and on the advice of diabetic nurse I swapped out all white for wholemeal

They are healthier choices though aren't they?

That's basically what I'm doing and testing to see what spikes my sugars I find most of sw meals are OK with my bloods but it's not a one size fits all am only going on my experience am sure someone who is a bit more savvy will come along soon and give you some more pointers

I'm following slimming world I'm no expert and someone may correct me but I swap out the pasta for healthier version I.e wholewheat or seeded bread and wholemeal pasta and I use less carbs

I've found testing my own blood has helped enormously I stay away from the foods that spike my bloods some surprising ones too which without testing I wouldn't have thought they would spike it, I've gotten my blood down from 67 to 47 and lost weight[emoji4]

I have spoke to the manager about having their staff trained. Nursing homes have nurses residential dont. I work in a residential home and we have basic training but still its training on how to spot and treat, I was fuming today because mum says she tells the carers that she feels funny and...
