Hope you are feeling better

Yes i'm diet only and it's the first time i've suffered last eat at lunchtime about 12.30 ish was reading paper/checking cooking was ok not drank alcahol for six months (that was even pre diagnosis lol)

No fairly newly diagnosed so diet controlled at the min must admit not eaten very much today though and was a bit stressed earlier

Settled a bit but gone from one extreme to the other, done blood again now upto 10.9 but feeling better thanks

Wow currently expieriencing my first Hypo felt shakey tested blood, 2.9 have had my five jelly babies and a couple of mouthfulls of full fat coke, starting to settle a bit so check blood again in 5-10 mins. at least i know how it feels now so will no to act quicker next time.

If only i'd waited for the January sales, instead of getting diagnosed in time for Christmas. :joyful:

Morning all, Just a Quick question, just getting over a cold ive had for 3 or 4 days felt good today so have decided a bit of sprng cleaning in the bathroom was in order, hadn't eaten this morning (not unusual) decided to stop for lunch, started to shake slightly and feeling light headed and a...

I use the pen i got with contour with the code free i recently bought no problems so far and the bonus is the code free doesnt seem to need as much blood to get a reading, win win situation :)

Thanks, have followed earlier advice on this post from one or two other members and have bought a codefree meter works out about ten pound cheaper for strips than those for the meters i had already so more manageable.

Because i've not expirienced it before all sorts spring to mind i.e its a new meter is it working properly etc being ever the optimist the first thought is that can't be right :joyful:

Will have to try and keep that going then.

Thanks for that, never happened before so obviously wern't sure if it was any cause for concern

On a seperate note just tested blood two hours post meal and mmol is exactly the same as test before meal, should i be concerned reading was 6.0 both times.

Think my plan of action will be to wait for next test be sure to fast properly then get appointment to see GP and ask questions reguarding medication insist im heard out and demand answers and go from there,

Some how get the feeling even if i was to question my GP about it i wouldn't get very far.

Thank you for that, thought it was strange him saying no need to fast but i will know in future, i suppose it's down to lack of appointment time, but a shame GP's seem unable to educate their patients to a degree when giving test results diagnosis etc.

Have to admit i was surprised when i asked about fasting and was told it wasnt neccassairy, all i can say is it wasnt my usual GP so possibly could have been a locum as only went in for flu jab and notes on computer advising test

No was told no need to fast but usually try to go early morning for blood tests so in effect would of had no solids for approx 12 hours plus but 1/2 cups of tea on waking in the days when i would have added sugar.
