I don't feel well under 4, even at 4.5 I feel weird shaking, cold, a strange feeling. Obviously you don't want it going any lower do you so would u eat or just take a tablet? In that situation? I was told if it goes too low you can go unconscious, I'm concerned about that as I have children with...

Hi @'brunneria'@ I hope that's right I can't remember how to reply. I am on metformin twice a day, I just eat a well balanced healthy diet basically cut out off the rubbish and measure carbs but not excessively I still need carbs or I go too low all the time. I do get hypo symptoms as I get to...

Hi everyone I was just thinking to myself, when my blood sugars go to 4 or just below I usually eat something like grapes or whatever I have to hand but sometimes feel like I am having to eat every 3 hrs whether hungry or not? Should I be taking a Detroxe tablet instead of eating at times like...

Hi "@"vinnyjames" that would be fab to get to non diabetic levels! My typical day is shredded wheat bitsize for breakfast (I have found this is the only cereal where my levels go spike above 8) I can't eat eggs in the morning my tummy really doesn't like it. I have to eat a snack in between...

Thank you for all your lovely comments, I was really pleased with my latest results, must keep it up. I do still eat some carbs probably more than others so I will try and cut down see if I can lower it even more. Any tips would be great as I do feel hungry if I don't eat carbs? I eat them still...

I would also say though that I have to carefully weight my shredded wheat bitsize only 40g no more, I was probably having too much beter or any cereal!! I also have breakfast then don't sit down for a couple of hours busy getting ready, getting to work etc. I have read somewhere the best way to...
