[QUOTE="Higaomo, post: 2451174, member: 549737"] Have struggled a bit today. I felt quite lightheaded yesterday evening. Usually I’d have put it down to tiredness, not having slept great the night before, but now? I’m paranoid it could be a sign of something bad. Or is it the new medication? The stress of the previous 24 hours? The sudden change of diet? I’m not good at not knowing why something is happening. Due to literally having nothing else in the house to eat except stuff that I knew for sure would definitely be worse, I had my ‘usual’ toast and coffee for breakfast, although I omitted the marmalade I would previously have had, and two hours later I tested my blood and it was 27, which really scared me. (I had tested it before eating and it had been 12.7) Luckily I had a day off work today so after running a few errands I drove home via the supermarket and bought fresh fruit and veg, some meat, natural yogurt, cheese and eggs. So now I have lots of options. When I got home I went through my kitchen cupboards and got rid of everything I can’t have - pasta, potatoes, meringue nests, jam… I’ll take some to my daughter’s tomorrow and the rest to the local food bank. Treated myself to a piece of rump steak for dinner, which I’ll have with broccoli and cauliflower. [/QUOTE]
