Improved BG Levels & increased hunger

AndBreathe said:

Did you manage to modify your diet at all, or are your improved bloods result of the better weather or a great mystery?

If you have reduced your carbs, you may need to increase the fat a bit. What does your food diary say about your carbs, fat, protein and calories?

I haven't really got a techniqal answer . But when my bms are occasionally high , I can not even stand the thought of eating , if they go up a bit the last thing I'm thinking about is eating as I'm physical never hungry .
But when my bms are in range I do get pekish . So could be where you have better control and are feeling better that you get hungry .
That's just my experience with being high . But I know others will come along as above with better information than me lol .
Take care

That's brilliant to hear though that you are trying your best to sort your blood sugars out . And as you said they have been better over the last few days , it's excellent . It's good your not Just leaving them high and your trying to do something about it .
I have to admit I love my food too , but that's just my opinion on myself going high and not being hungry . Might be something to do with your readings being a bit better , it might not be lol .
But well done on you for making the changes , you should be really happy with yourself

When I was in my teens I'm 22 now . my bloods were all over the place !! Due to hormones ect , I've never neglected my diabetes .
But I was the exact same your blood starts coming down say to a ten and your like oh no this dose not feel right nore nice and all you want to do is have sugar to go back up and feel better , but it's not better , if that makes any sense .
It's as if you need to retrain your body whats wrong and whats right it will take a lot of patients and a lot of getting used to being below a ten . But it's so worth it in the long run for your health .
Later on down the line , you will feel high being a ten !! . And that's the right way to feel , so you will feel so rubbish , but once your used to it like your said you will feel great .
Your deffo going in the right direction

I'm so sorry I didn't mean that you have neglected your diabetes hope you didn't take it like that .
Was trying to say haha , that sometimes you do all you can do and it doesn't work , and doctors couldn't even answer my questions or help me . And was told it was my hormones , but I guess maybe between 18 and now , my hba1c's have improved my current one is 6.7% .
Sometimes it can be such a tough road but you can get there . And it is do able .
I'm not surprised you must be feeling nasty but the better control you have the better you will feel eventually . It is so hard . Grrr
Whats your current hba1c.

Oh good haha , omg wow that's an achievement on its own there you've already brought your hba1c down and it was by quite a bit .
That's not too long to wait either for your next one . As you've said you've had better control hopefully it would of came down for you .
You will have to let me know what it is when you go .
Fingers crossed for you good luck .
