Hi, I posted quite some time back when my GP thought I may have type 2 due to Hba1c reading of 48 and after exchanging messages on here I felt I may actually have RH. I have finally been to see the endocrinologist today and we discussed my symptoms and she thinks I do have RH and possibly type...

Hi saw my doctor today as been feeling very unwell. I've tested my sugars every day and I have hypos every day. Doctor not sure what is going on and very confused by my symptoms as they are not typical of type 2. He Feels the reason I'm feeling so bad is due to the hypos and not high sugars...

I can remember trying to park my car when feeling like that and having to get my husband to do it as I couldn't see straight and was shaking so much! Such a horrible feeling, it's only happened at work a handful of times and usually when in clinic which is not as highly stressed, trying to take...

Thank you for all your replies over the last few days I really appreciate it. Feel very overwhelmed and unsure about everything. I will start looking into low carb diet ready for after I've seen the nurse, I know it will take awhile to get my head around it as I've always been a low fat high...

I'm meeting with the nurse 30/04/18 after a night shift Will be the first time I talk to a professional about it as my Gp didn't even give me the results Glucose tabs have stopped them every time but sometimes I've needed to chew 4/5 Never had a medical emergency but have felt so bad before...

Thanks for your response Probably a silly question but if you snack when do you take your readings? Do you do it just before and after your main meals? I carry out oral glucose tests with the pregnant women I care for I wasn't aware that they were used other than that. I've just been...

Thanks for your reply You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. If I'm busy on the ward then i can go some time without feeling shaky and low I did ask my gp about this a few years ago and he said it would be the adrenaline of my job keeping my levels up? Not sure if this is true or not...

Hi thanks for the responses the 12.9 was after a bowl of Jordan's cereal and milk nothing else The 3.6 was pre lunch reading hadn't eaten anything since breakfast was feeling hungry and just starting to get that I need to eat soon feeling. Lunch was 2 cheese and chutney rolls and post lunch...

Hi thanks for your response. I was also thinking about if the Hba1c would be a true reading due to the ups and downs of my sugar levels. Just taken them now before lunch and 3.6 which is a massive drop from 2 and half hours ago when it was over 12. I will take all these readings with me...

Just to add sometimes I won't get a break for 10 hours so ideas that are filling would be great Jennie

Thanks again for your responses. Sorry about all the questions just trying to educate myself a little. So yesterday toast caused blood glucose to raise to just over 10 this mornin cereal has raised it to 12.9 those are my usual choice for breakfast. What does everyone else eat? I'm a...

Hi thanks for your replies I've never heard of reactive hypoglycaemia before. I've had these symptoms for few years and I have seen the gp before and his response was don't worry the worse thing to happen is you may pass out and have to say quite a few times I nearly have! I will do a little...

Hi I had toast for breakfast with margarine. I did check two hours after lunch and it was 6.1 lunch was a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and chips. I have episodes every day when I feel my sugars are low and like I'm going to pass out unfortunately I then tend to grab rubbish food to try and...

Sorry wasn't very clear yes they are my numbers. My mum has given me an old machine so that I can monitor my levels before I see the nurse and they seem to be very up and down. Not quite sure how often I should do them but 10.4 two hours after breakfast and then 3 just before lunch today. I...

Thanks for your replies I'm so confused about it all but I'm assuming it gets easier. I seem to have more symptoms of low sugars I get shaky sweaty dizzy blurred vision and have to eat to make it go away my mum is type 2 and she's done cbg before and they've been 2.9 and 3. I always thought...

Hi New to site so bear with me if these questions have been asked before. Last year a random urine test showed glucose and go requested Hba1c which came back at 45 Gp said just wanted it rechecked every year. Had repeated Hba1c this week and receptionist at Gp called to say it's now 48mmol...
