About a year ago i had a filling and after i had the injection in my mouth i went all shaky and trembling slightly. however, this passed very quickly and they progressed with the filling.
I now have to have another filling and it is a different dentist, so I described what happened the last time and she said ideally my BS should be around 7. At the moment they are high but I am doing things differently and they are definately improving. I have to go for this other filling in a couple of weeks and I am scared stiff. Obviously I will test my BS before I go and if it is too high then i will cancel my appointment, but I do need to have this filling so it doesnt get any bigger. I was only given 10 strips as a trial at the start of my diabetes, but i kicked up a fuss and persuaded my nurse to give me more so i could check what certain foods did to my BS. But it makes me think if i didnt have them then i would never have found out about this. I am type 2. Has anyone else experienced this?
Question 2 is while at the gym the other day i was told if my BS is too high then i cannot do certain exercises, they also told me not to look down too much as that can cause retinopathy. they are fully qualified as there are a lot of GP referrals at our gym. Has anyone heard of this before please?
