Hello
My blood sugar has been in the high 20's and 30's for approx. one week.
I don't know what is causing it, have not been eating or drinking anything I shouldn't.
My eyesight is very bad at the moment, I feel like the my head is spinning. My left foot is feeling numb and I feel really poorly.
I spoke to my GP at the end of last week and he suggested insuin but did not take it any further and said I needed a blood test so I had one yesterday.
The nurse said she would mark it as urgent and it would be back today, it hasn't come back and the surgery does not seem concerned at all.
Please could anybody advise.
Thank you.
Change your Doctor .
That's exactly what happened to me in the middle of January, a real scare that finally motivated me to sort myself out
Hi Scottie, Do you like marmite? . I leerrvvvv it and put some on the bread underneath the cheese for an extra kick. Just a thought if you're looking for something to add a bit of extra interest.
On the bread? Does it not spike you?Hi Scottie, Do you like marmite? . I leerrvvvv it and put some on the bread underneath the cheese for an extra kick. Just a thought if you're looking for something to add a bit of extra interest.
The marmite or the bread Clive? If you mean the bread no, one slice of Hovis is fine for me.On the bread? Does it not spike you?
Pleased to hear the breads ok for you, every carb is ....counted !The marmite or the bread Clive? If you mean the bread no, one slice of Hovis is fine for me.

Did GP / DSN ever get back to you with test results?
Peanut butter on ryvita. I actually buy the lidl version as they are only 4g per biscuit (and a lot cheaper) and then have my peanut butter about a centimetre thick. It is just yummy.
Shepherds Pie - was you around my house as that is what I had. Unfortunately mash potato is probably the worst form of potatoes you could eat as the act of mashing breaks the long chains and makes it digest and enter the blood stream very fast. I would say that is what you found. Not to worry we all live and learn and the stairs will help

Dont do too much or it can raise your Blood Glucose Levels. There is no time like the present BTW - I often used to do them "on my way to bed" so that I would be nice a warmOh sugar, forgot the stairs. So sorry, will do them tomorrow - twice.
No worries for me with mash as my shepherds pie and nuts and raisins for desert raised me to a heady 6.2I'm going to try mashed celeriac on a shepherds pie, it's good mashed
Hear, Hear !!!Greem & Black chocolate must be an aquired taste :***:
No, they didn't and when I called for blood test results I was told I needed to see a GP. My urine tests were fine though.
lol. Now my tastes have changed a lot since diagnosis. I never liked strong flavours, coffee, dark choc, etc and now I like them all but can't stomach really sweet things now.Greem & Black chocolate must be an aquired taste :***:
Perhaps if you get any trouble getting an appointment you could ask for a GP to phone you?
Our GP's are doing skyping appts now and call backs in evenings from their homes to try and help patients. Do your practice do the same?
If you can't get an appt do consider asking for a GP to phone you...
