Hi,
So I am newly diagnosed, 8 or 9 weeks now and I have been using a CGM to try and get some patterns before I finally get an appointment to see a diabetes nurse. (I still haven't seen one which is a whole other story)
and have noticed the last 2 days iv been getting a low blood glucose alarm. after waiting I seem to spike a little as usual (noting out of normal range) then I will dip low to say 3.5 and then back up to 5-6 and back down and so on. My daily graph usually has a small spike after breakfast then fairly smooth up and down through the day but the last looked look like sawtooth in the evening.
Up till yesterday I had only ever seen a low blood glucose once.
I have a relatively carby meal (rice from a in indian takeaway) a few nights ago but surely this wont still be doing this to my levels?
I have eaten well after that apart from skipping lunch yesterday which seemed to bring it on.
Is this something to worry about as type 2 isn't usually related with low BG is it?
