Diabetic control went off kilter - I got BM's down from 8-12's to 5-7's by following Low carb diet alongside the gliclazide Ive been on for 15+ years

Then

Put at risk of redundancy and BM's are now back up to 10++

******, ******, ******!!!

I empathise, been in that situation a few times myself, as if its not enough worrying about your job!! You then have ridiculous BG levels in the mix too! And there's precious little you can do about it!! Good luck, fingers crossed for you, just hang in there :s

Hi badcat

Stress is known to increase BG's.

My advice - eat what you know keeps you in tight control and forget the testing. You can only control what you can control (your food) seeing high reads when you are doing all you can will just send you crazy and weirdly put the reads up

Thanks both - at least there'll be an end to it in 4 weeks + Im going on hols for a couple of weeks of that frankly which cant come soon enough!!I think Ill forgoe most testing until its over - seeing BM's up again when I cant do much about them is the last thimg I need
