Low blood sugars

[Jlewis]

So at first I was really worried about my sugars being to high but now it's gone the other wa. My levels are constantly low in the 2s and 3s. I started out on 2 and a half tablets a day. Now I'm on half a tablet and they're still low and I'm eating more. I just don't understand it. I've called the diabetic centre and left messages and no ones called back. I've never collapsed or even felt bad from low sugars but obviously them being that low constantly isn't a good thing. The highest reading I get is in the morning when it's about 4 or 5 because I eat a fair bit an hour before bed so that I don't go to low during my sleep.

You do need to speak to your GP!
I know you are not getting through!
Sometimes you just have to go to the surgery and demand to see anyone, that can do something.
I can't tell you to stop taking the glicizide, as I can't!
But that is what is causing your lows, unless you have another metabolic condition.

The only thing to keep you near or just over normal levels is small amounts of food, every couple of hours, with carbs in. Until your meds ar

If you aren't successful, either go to your nearest walk in centre or phone the NHS emergency phone line!

Best wishes.
