Hi folks,
Can anyone help me please. After much cajoling I have eventually persuaded my GP to give me a test meter and test strips as sometimes I feel awful at certain times of day. Diagnosed T2, 15 months ago, have lost 4 stone in weight. Anyway my confusion is the my readings are highish, 7.8 before I eat and drop to 5.2 after 2 hours. I was told to expect the readings to go up 2 hours after food - so far been testing using a Aviva Nano for a week and the pattern is the same every day.
Any suggestions what this means?
Also I seem to alternate between feeling very cold and at other times feel as if I'm running a temperature ( and no, it's not the menopause - that finished about 12 years ago!!)
Would be grateful for any info or tips.
