Thank you all for your inputs, they do make sense, I think a readjustment of my 'panic' reaction is in order, maybe stop with the finger pricking and just get on,not worrying about the readings. (Doesn't stress cause bg to go up?) Sent from my SM-A137F using Diabetes Forum mobile app

Hi all, I'm T2 for 2 years and can't get my head around hypo and hyper. I've been having ,well one or both, and I can't tell the difference. Both seem to have the same effects, a bit of a head ache, shake legs, night sweats,I've never been thirsty with either. But do keep hydrated. I'm on a...

I had a blood test last Tuesday not for t2 review but when I phoned to check results I found out that they had done a glucose check aswel, I was told all was OK!

Hi granny_grump Thanks for your reply, I'm not too sure if it is cataracts or just t2 blurry vision?.
