Hi all,
Need some urgent advice. Have been a diet controlled diabetic for a year now with HbA1C OF 7.1 and readings mostly below 9 as of last October and not due to see the consultant again 'til April. Have been under a lot of stress just lately because my mother is terminally ill and I've not been taking the diabetes thing so seriously and have not done many BS checks recently. This week I have not been feeling so great my mothers condition is worsening and I am under a lot of stress. My chest feels tight and I can feel my heart pounding and my head doesn't feel right either. I feel very shaky too and not quite with it, thirsty and peeing more than usual. Took my BS a couple of days ago and it was 10, this morning at 6am it was 10 and have just taken it again and it was 19.2. This is the highest it has ever been and I am worried. Any suggestions or advice very welcome please. What should I do?
Thanks Karen
