Was at 3.6 when I posted. Just had a 150ml can of Coke as I soon started feeling slightly off.

Is it still a hypo? Should I do something about it even if feeling fine?

Type 2. 2MG Glimepiride in the morning and 500MG Metformin with evening meal.

I'm feeling really down about things right now. I was diagnosed just over a week ago now. I don't understand what I should and shouldn't be eating so I know I'm not eating right. I don't enjoy food any more and no matter what I've tried, it sends my BG high even hours after my meals. I really...

This is quite worrying, as even before I had diabetes I found it confusing and hard to get something tasty, healthy and inexpensive for my lunch. The result was a choice between of a pie from the bakers (cheap), a panini from the sandwich shop across the road (tasty) or going to the other...

Thanks Louise. Feel a lot better now. Was a little scary at the time though.q

OK, thanks.

Thanks Louise. It's just a bit worrying :( Gonna be eating in around 20 mins or so anyway, so think I'll be OK. I have a pack of Dextrose that the hospital gave me to take away. I'm struggling to even read this computer screen at the moment. I know it's supposed to be between 4 and 7 (which it...

Been diagnosed nearly a week now and my levels have seldom been in single figures. Down to 4.3 just now and feel really shaky and horrible. Sore head. Should I be worried? Just finished driving too, but felt fine until last few minutes.

Today I had a friend round, so decided to see how I would go with a takeaway. I tested myself before eating - 7.4 (lowest to date :)). I had a portion of mixed pakora, my curry and a half plain naan and half garlic naan (I figured these would be better than my usual sweet peshwari naan). I...

I have seen a few threads on here where it seems to imply that being given the strips and testing machine is not standard practice? I was diagnosed on Friday and was give loads of boxes of strips, a brand new machine and various other bits and pieces. Is this not standard then? I assume that...

Not managing to get my BG down really. Average is at 14.6. Been feeling a bit rubbish too. Just waiting on the hospital calling me back. :(

I was only diagnosed yesterday. Still confused! lol Foods that will be difficult to gve up - which ones do I need to can? Alcohol Magners - The only drink I really drink, Breakfast Orange Juice - I know this is probably a no go, but I love my glass of orange in the morning. Cereal - usually...

They are treating it as type 2, but cannot be sure yet. I have got a kit to check my blood at regular intervals and Glimepiride to take for a start before they move me on to Metformin.

I have not, no. I think that's what my appointment this afternoon is for. I understand the basics of Ketones. Enough for now anyway. I have just Googled for what foods are allowed/not recommended. Wow - so confusing. I guess I'm probably too early to be looking for this and I will probably find...

Thanks Louise.

Over Christmas I noticed that I had this unquenchable thirst. I drank litres and litres of water. I put it down to a combination of too many christmas treats and the cold weather. It's never really went away. Since Christmas I noticed that I was waking every night once to go to the loo. Also...
