Only diagnosed on Friday been really good on low carbs ( and my meds )thought I would have a piece of whole meal toast ... an hour later I paid heavily shaking and bad head back BG went up to 14 - quite shocked

Will try that - Thankyou

No body tells you these things - apart from on here ! Thankyou

My BG 8.8 today which is much improved from the 14-16's last week before I was ' officially' diagnosed. Today despite this I feel exhausted is this normal ?

I too was waiting for an op which was cancelled after my diagnosis of T2 last week - what is an acceptable sugar level for an op ?

I take same dose of medication but in the evening- wonder why the different time of day ?

I think GP's blame us for getting it - yes I am overweight but had already started dieting - I don't really drink I have never smoked - I'm not all bad am I

I think we have to stand up for ourselves quite a lot it would seem - bit pants isn't it

He just said ' it's not necessary ' as I would never have a hypo - but as I want to get the levels down then like you said monitoring is the key ! I just ate a banana see what it does !
