My mother has been dealing with T2D for about 10 years. Firstly with diet, then tablets, now insulin. One frustrating aspect of her condition is the erratic nature of he glucose levels. Over night it can drop from a frighteningly high 20 mmol/l to below 4 mmol/l. and on other occasions it can be around 9 mmol/l and barely drop. She almost gets the feeling that her body overreacts to sugar rather not reacting. Her record keeping of glucose levels is exemplary but finding a pattern is like platting fog. Any advice? I have recently agreed with my mother to become more involved in her treatment mainly to understand D better and to be preapred for when the time comes when I may be her carer.
