Hi Lucy,
My name is Tracey and i am a 42. I am a ttype 1 diabetic and have been for 36yrs. Are you a type 1 or type 2 diabetic?
You could try watching the amount of carbohydrate you are having. I would do regular blood tests, before meals and then two hours after and before bed, do this for a least a week to see what sort of pattern you get.
If you are suffering any stress that can raise bg.
I was wondering if you work? otherwise i find if i do a twenty minute walk this can decrease your sugar level if it's running high, any exercise will do, but if you are suffering hypo's (low sugar) then carry glucose or a sugary drink.
I could try and help you a bit more if i know what typpeof diabetes you have.
You can private message me if you like to talk further.
Take care for now and hopefully we can talk again.
Tracey
