[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1842738, member: 68789"] Hi Saeeda, I’m sorry you’ve been having a roller coaster, it’s never pleasant. What insulin are you on? Like some of the others say, it’s odd that you feel you have to eat if you have insulin but without knowing what insulin it is we can’ really comment more than this. Have you been told about corrections? For instance, if my blood sugars fall to 3 then I know that one jelly baby, which is approximately 0.5g carbohydrate (no gluten) will raise me by 1.5 to 4.5, and two jelly babies will raise me to 6. This will usually take about 20 minutes to happen. I’ll then test again 20 - 30 minutes after I’ve eaten the jelly babies to see what my blood sugars are doing. Sometimes my liver will dump a load of glucose to help (!) and I’ll need some insulin, without eating, to get my blood sugars back where I’d like them to be. Most people with T1, and insulin-taking T2s, have experienced a roller coaster time. [/QUOTE]
