Hi everyone,
For a while now I have not been controlling my sugars and burying my head, eating mostly whatever I want (caused by stopping smoking, stress, depression and severe anxiety).
This week I decided to stop pretending that im ok and remembering that I am diabetic.
My last 2 days have been like this:
I have been taking my sugars in the morning, before meals, 2 hours after meals and before bed and I cant seem to get my sugars below 9 (except once late last night before bed, around 00:30, it was 7.4).
My blood sugar seems to be around 11 in the morning, my morning "meal" is a swig of milk and take my Gliclazide 40mg and vitamin tablets. 2 hours later my blood sugar will normally be around 11 - 13.
Then before lunch, between 9-10, but by this point I am very hungry and cant not eat.
2 hours after lunch, its around 11.
Before evening meal (take 80mg Gliclazide) its around 9 again. 2 hours after around 11-13.
Before bed (around midnight-1am) anywhere from 7.4 - 11. (Last night was 7.4).
Than waking its 11 again.
Seems im in this cycle where my blood sugars are in the 7.4-11 range and wont go down. I mean, its controlled to an extent the last 2 days, but its just staying higher. I want this kind of control but between 3-8 rather than between 7-13.
What can I do to get it down between meals to 5? And why is my blood sugar going up from 7.4 to 11 whilst I sleep?
I dont understand this, unless im sleepwalking to the fridge at 4am, which I can say im not.
