I have had Type 2 diabetes for 8 years now and so far have controlled it with diet and excercise. Until recently I was carer for my elderly mother and the stress did effect my BS. As she passed away at Christmas I am trying to get my numbers back to normal. I have increased my high intenstivity training to 3 hours a week plus one hour in the gym. I have also cut out my cappuccinos which had become a comfort food. I had expected my numbers to go down but this week they are going up, yesterday was 6.9 and today is 7.3. Is this normal or is cutting out the sugar causing my insulin levels to drop so not coping as well.
