Hi all,
I'm having issues with my sleeping at the mo and at night / early hours I get peckish. I took my last bloods at 'bed time' last night and they were 7.2, I had chilli and cauli rice for tea. Before 'bed time' I also took my lantus.
Last night I gave in and ate a full dark chocolate bar and 4 rice cakes. around 3 hours later I felt guilty and checked my bloods to find they were 7.3.
I'm wondering why it hardly moved? The last short acting insulin was taken maybe 6 hours before this before my tea.
It's self me confused as the same thing happened about 5 days ago (I know I need to get control) during the night I ate a bag of Bournville dark choc buttons, a few hours after this I checked and my blood was 4.9!! Checked again twice one was 5.4 other 5.8 so I stuck with the middle 5.4
Is this normal,?
Please no judging on stop eating chocolate, before I was diagnosed I hardly ever ate any chocolate or cake or sweets but now I find myself craving them probably because I know I shouldn't have them.
