I have taken blood sugar and was down to 4.9. so had a small amount of orange juice,
Now i am 21.9.
phoned doctors surgary and blood sugar is nothing to worry about was the answer i got back!
I am worried!
 
Sandy.

Why did you think you needed to drink Orange Juice when your Bg was 4.9 ? That reading is perfectly acceptable until you have a meal or a snack.
How much did you actually drink and how soon after did you take the reading ?

Hi ken
My diabetic nurse said that i should not let my blood sugar get below 5 As i pass out!
It was a mouthful if that! A hour after!
 
All I can say is it must have been b****y strong stuff then. Even my Lucozade if I am low doesn't send me that high. Dont forget if you had some food prior to this you will have to add that effect as well.
Relax, Sandy. You are stressing again. :wink:

Hi ken
I am always stressing, i know i should not! But family memebes have been lost to diabetes!
I always panic!
i had a hot cross earlier! I am wondering if that had a effect as well!
 
Definitely, all the Carbs will convert to Glucose. Hence the rise in your Bg levels.

Are Hot cross buns part of the diet now ? :lol:
 
!

No I will not be eating another hot cross bun! It looked so lonely last on shelf!
I think that is no more hot cross bun!
I think they must have been thinking let's teach her a lesson!
lesson learnt!
 
try not to worry sandy ,are your bloods back to normal now?
