For the past week my levels have been great no highs or lows the highest it's been is 15 so for me that's great since haveing my baby, but I have had a headache for three days now it won't budge and I just feel so tiered and drained is this normal or should I go doctors :/ anyone this it's diabetic related.
Many thanks

I don't think having a headache a feeling tired is anything to do with your diabetes. It's probably more related to having a little baby.

If you think your headache needs checking out, go to the doctor.

You say you've had no highs or lows but the highest you've been is 15. 15 is high, that's when my meter gets distressed at the result and tells me to check for ketones. If that counts as no highs for you I'm assuming you must have been seeing very high levels before. Well done on making moves to get in control, that takes a lot of stress and effort, it could also be stressing your body out a bit while it gets used to the change, making you feel worn out and headachey. Keep going with it!

Thank you for your response that's what I was thinking but wanted to make sure as never felt like this.
And I no to some diabetic experts 15 is still not good but since haveing my c-section they have been really hard to control and me being at 6 makes me feel ill but iv stuck to it as I no its right thing to do.
Thank u again
