[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1960609"] Hi Deborah. If I recall you are fairly newly diagnosed? If this is the case, and you have spent many years in the higher glucose ranges, you may very well experience all sorts of peculiar feelings and readings as the pendulum swings back and forth through normality. This shouldn’t necessarily be a genuine medical concern unless you do actually go genuine hypo. Keep monitoring and be vigilant, but try not to let anxiety play too much of a role, as it will only further destabilise your glucose. As an anecdotal story - shortly after diagnosis I once swung from ~13mmol/L to 4.4 in a matter of hours. I felt like I was dying, like the ground was swallowing me up. Very distressing. Now I think nothing of a 4.4 as it’s entirely normal. Stick with it and in a few years you’ll be a pro. Oh and yes your doctor is wrong but no surprise there. I’m getting more and more convinced that most GPs got their diabetes knowledge from Ladybird books in primary school ;) [/QUOTE]
