Hi there
I've just been told I'm a new diabetic (not been told what type) but can't have an assessment for another 3 weeks as it's under control. I've purchased a meter because I've been feeling awful. It's very out of the blue as there are no factors that would put me in the 'at risk' category for diabetes.
My morning result is around 4.4 and I tested before I exercise in the afternoon and it dropped to 4.4 again (had lunch about 1.5 hours before) Is this low? I start to feel wobbly and lightheaded. Am I right in thinking I should have a snack before I exercise when it's low 4s?
This is all new to me so sorry for the incompetence
