    Hypos

    Fasting blood sugar 14.8

    Good morning - my blood sugar reading was 14.8 this morning which is about as high as it has ever been. Should I be worried? It's ''normally" around 8. The only recent changes are to medication (changed from citalopram to propranolol) and I started the Slimming World eating plan a week ago.
