[QUOTE="G0ldengirl68, post: 2372416, member: 537222"] When I was doing good for 3 weeks, yes, similar each day, but not the last 2-3 days. I was told to try raising my carb intake. The dietician I was referred to suggested my carbs were too low. I think I listened to her because my numbers weren't dropping fast enough to my liking. I went from 33g at the most to as much as 85g in just 2 days. Friday a.m. I felt ok until just after breakfast, had a wakeup/fasting count earlier of 141 mg/dl. After a non carb breakfast I had what I could only describe as a hypoglycemia episode but hadn't had one since I was a child. Bad-ass headache and shakes. Took myself to the emergency room as I couldn't figure what happened. I'm new to all this and torn between the different opinions. I'm not complaining about the opinions, it's just that I have to realize everyone is different and doctors/dieticians are more "one size fits all" because that's what their taught, maybe? Oh, at the hospital I got a high blood pressure count, which I know my blood pressure is one thing I can say has always been good. It was 170/ and I can't remember the bottom number but the nurse said it was through the roof. I took the Metformin out of the drawer lastnight and took one (extended release). I wanted to do this without meds but I'll try it again since I'm not quite ready to croak, like we have a choice of when we go. [/QUOTE]
