Newly diagnosed and still struggle with what this all means etc.
I had a bad night last night, couldn’t get to sleep so I left my bed and went into the lounge to watch TV….then I ate a lot of chocolates which I’d previously been able to ignore, which lead to me eating cheese and crackers. This morning my blood level was 11.0 and no, I wasn’t surprised at all.
I had been fasting for 20 hrs for over a week prior to my episode of insomnia and eating last night and now I am in bed with a hot water bottle on my legs (moving it around as required) due to my legs and feet being freezing cold. I’ve had this a lot of times but not since I started only eating one meal a day, so I’m thinking this has to be diabetes related??? Also, I read my ultrasound scan report and apparently I have fatty liver and need to speak to my GP. I have made an appointment to see him next Friday…it’s the usual difficulty since covid with getting an appointment.
When I’m fasting i still can’t get my levels below 6 and often are about 8 so I’m thinking I will need to go onto medication which I’ve been trying to stay off.
