Hi, yes I’d but by the time I have symptoms and test I am on the way back up again normally around 5. When I was using the CGM I was getting symptoms even when above 5? I don’t think it’s carb flu as I eat the same things all the time and very low carb. Yes I will just need to get all my...

Just to report the stock cube did help a bit, I managed a small meal at lunch time but my appetite is poor. Took it much easier yesterday and rested as much as possible, had a normal night awake every 2/3 hours but finally woke up feeling better than yesterday thankfully. This morning I had...

I have had rafts of tests and I’m sure he tested that just recently but will ask again on Thursday, thanks.

Thank you , no I don’t test regularly as I always bounce back if I go too low. I always seem to get symptoms afterwards! Just now I thought I felt a bit weird and then before I have had a chance to eat anything I start sweating and get a pain in my back and know it’s too late to test. I try...

Two late nights and a fun filled day yesterday with family who are visiting seems too much for me now :( I’ve had a terrible night and feel really off this morning. Particularly weak legs, nausea, palpitations and a headache that won’t clear even after a few small meals. Anyone else get this...

Thanks I think I get the idea. Sadly I didn’t check at the time and don’t have the monitor now. But I only ate when I felt I needed to, I didn’t go by the numbers, thankfully I have never passed out. At night I just can’t get back to sleep when I go too low so that’s when I know i have to...

Whilst using a CGM for a week I found I was waking as normal throughout the night, sweating, palpitations etc but my blood sugar was stable. Is that what is meant by a false hypo?

I finish the week of the Dexcom. CGM today. How do they process the information? I was advised to take it all back when I go to my clinic appointment but then is the consultant just able to plug it in and see the results or does someone have to print them off first etc? Any advice please. I...

I did have my insulin levels checked in August and he was happy with them. I wonder if it’s the damage to the pancreatitis? I am beginning to understand that people behave differently by reading some other threads. I’m keen to get there without meds if I can as I react to so many things...

That’s amazing, but must be strange too. A testimony to your commitment to find a way through it all, gives me hope. Thanks for your input Lamont, take it you won’t leave the forum though!!?

Thanks I will try that. To my absolute surprise I was around 5 something all night, just dipped a few times but came back up and then about 5am I went down to 4 and that’s when I got worse symptoms,although I woke a few times through the night sweating but levels were normal. Got up and ate as...

Just to share the happy news that I have finally had the 24 hr blood glucose monitor fitted today. Had a tuna, salad lunch with a chunk of 90% choc to follow. Was alright for a couple of hours then plummeted to 3.1 in less than half an hour with all the symptoms starting at 4.4! Just rallied...

Thanks all. I have steamed cabbage, lots, or cauliflower rice and cabbage, but always eat leafy greens of some sort with every meal. I don’t eat pre made curries, but I do use a paste when I make my own. I didn’t find it kept me that full yesterday even though I added the solid part of a tin...

I am finally making progress as I am now going to see the DNS at the hospital to have some bloods taken and hopefully the glucose monitor fitted on Tuesday!! Only drawback is the need to fast until 9am and the appointment is in London so I hope I can manage the train and walk at the other end...

I ate the same piece of bar with a soya coffee in the middle of a shopping trip yesterday morning and the same meal at lunch time followed by a 30 minute walk with my dog and was fine so you may be right. We are out this evening for a meal so it’s not always an option though, but I will try that...

Sorry I’ve only just seen this, not that familiar with how to use the forum!! The MRI only confirms what the CT showed so nothing new to worry about thankfully. I have had a bad week working out how much pain relief to take to help control the pancreatitis, as it makes me nauseous! I am not...

That’s ok, I am sure this is all having a big impact however. No I’m still waking every 2 hours at night with hypo symptoms and having dips through the day too, particularly morning and evening, like right now!!! Sometimes it’s lunchtime before I level out, It’s so frustrating and...

Thanks Lamont. Do you know if having continuous hypos could have been damaging my pancreas, or what damage do you refer to?

Do you know if they can offer anything to help stabilise me if The pancreatitis is causing RH?

Ah right I see. I only went down to 2.9 one day but was sweating within a few hours and the rest of the time on and off every couple of hours, had a continuous headache and by the third day was nearly sick. I felt so ill. Which I do now if I don’t eat every two hours and have similar symptoms...
