Many thanks l keep saying you are all amazing but it is true your help is a godsend l would be lost without it.
l guess the word hypo is wrong considering l was explaining to a colleague yesterday that a "normal" person wouldn't feel it and not a hypo per se :lol: l guess l should say strange feeling
Some of the high ones
6.2.... before breakfast
6 .....2hrs post lunch
6.9....2hrs post breakfast
6....2hrs post lunch
Some of the low ones
4.7.....4hrs post lunch
4.4..... 2hrs 20 post dinner (also inc 20 mins on exercise bike)
4.9 ...before breakfast
4.6....before dinner
4.9....2hrs post breakfast and short walk round town (l hate town!)
More 4 and 6 variations the 5 variations not listed has happened the most of the 3 numbers
I have found and downloaded the food diaries lot better laid out l was using home made one with just carbs so hope this will help me more.
Got the starters info first time here :-D and lots of that and other info is on my phone in files for instant view as l am setting up help files for myself.
What confused me was how l seemed "low" not high but was on metformin and l was feeling with anything below 5 even the 4.9
l knew instantly what BG was on. The info said 4 was good but l feel awful "down there" hence thinking it couldn't be good if that makes sense. I figured if l was sort of 8++ then metformin would make sense but l always seemed "low"
Confused about the body reacting to false hypos although not saying it is wrong just as l am feeling the symptoms starting with throat palpitations (when l have been able to wack my stethoscope on heart dysrythmia...am a vet nurse) then generally off, loss of energy, dizzy Also it is times l have not eaten a snack or been asleep or done even a bit extra to normal exercise levels.
As far as l understand l was heading downwards not upwards several times a day pre discovery... throat palpitations, exhaustion (sleep all night but stilll exhausted soon as l woke up), dizzy/confused, ...l wasn't eating well as l felt so ill.
At times hot flushes, if l wanted the loo it was NOW! not really more than normal just no leaway.
Hope that lot makes sense have tried
