[QUOTE="anna29, post: 1054812, member: 30936"] Too risky to self rely on any guessing games with your own blood sugar readings . Diabetes is silent unseen and can be highly unpredictable . Changes and shifts its course sometimes without any rhyme or reason . A right pain in any guessing stakes too . Always use and refer to a meter to know accurately what your blood sugars sit at . Before eating and after eating , you can over time start to see a pattern emerge . Yet if ill or using antibiotics, flu vaccines, stress, dental treatments, etc Your blood sugars can spike upwards despite all your best efforts . Same with hypo's - they can leave you feeling quite rough afterwards . Until the blood sugars reach a much safer level . A guessing of the blood sugars via how you feel is both unreliable and unrealistic . You may feel great and find your levels are too high or too low . Its not worth the risk - always best to test . This way you have the knowledge and peace of mind of accurately knowing where your blood sugars sit at in that moment of time . [/QUOTE]
