Over the last 2 or 3 days I have eaten very little. No particular reason - I just haven't felt hungry. I never encourage myself to eat as I am overweight and am trying to lose quite a lot. Anyway, I decided to take my blood glucose reading. I take it sporadically rather than regularly about once or twice a week. It was about 3 hours since I had anything to eat at all and t hat was just a plain soya yoghurt. My blood glucose is normally pretty good. In fact, I often think that I don't even have diabetes at all because the levels are between 4 and 7 which is normal I believe. Imagine my shock to find that the reading was 8.5. It hasn't been that high since I have been testing it myself. Can eating too little actually increase blood glucose levels?
Another thing, my nurse tested my feet and foundd that I hadn't a lot of feeling in my right big toe. She is arranging for me to go to podiatry. I have trouble looking after my feet because I am disabled and can't bend my knees sufficiently to deal with my feet. Anyway, I've been waiting since March for an appointment with podiatry so far. Is this problem with my toe something I should worry about? The nurse said I need to look after my feet - I think I need that appointment! My toenails are growing in!
Anyway, can anyone tell me about the skipped meals and problems with blood glucose?
