just having a moan really
I have been doing so well with weight loss, low carb high fat diet my blood sugars have been on average 5ish before and pre meal but I got slapped cheek of my daughter and have felt like I have had flu for past two weeks, followed by the awful rash now bad joint pain, but I’m struggling to keep my blood sugar under control, I had chicken and vegetables for tea the usual broccoli and carrots and cauliflower and it’s 8.8mmol I don’t even understand how it could be that high from that meal, so I cleaned my hands to make sure it’s not something on my skin and again 8.7mmol. Is this normal to be so high, I know illness can increase blood sugar. My nurse is so pleased with my numbers she’s repeating my a1c on the 15th because she wants me to come of medication and I know that won’t happen with numbers like that I thought I was doing so well and in control and now I just feel so defeated . Sorry for the moan .
