Hi all.
Is it part and parcel of diabetes to have bad weeks?
I find that my BG is generally good for a couple of weeks then I'll have a week of bad bloods. My diet isn't really different on these weeks. It's all very weird.
For example, my BGL is usually between 5-7mmol first thing in the morning. This week they have been 7-9mmol. Tonight, I ate one of my dad's curries which usually 6-7 units covers (although I can be occasionally high). I thought that due to generally high bloods I'd up my novorapid dose a significant amount to 12 units. Yet my bloods were still 12.2 after!
I was really sleepy and lethargic yesterday and my readings were all over the place (9 then 12 then 15 then 9 then 8 in the space of an hour).
But then next week they'll probably be more settled.
Does anyone else get this?
I'm getting really down about it as I'm trying to aim for a hba1c of 6.5% or lower to get pregnant.
TIA
