The problem with diabetes is that it's not an exact science. We constantly have to adapt to our bodies changing. Perhaps usually you walk to the shops. For instance, Insulin absorption can change based on how much exercise you do. If you were to walk all day, your body would become more sensitive to insulin, possibly for a number of days. The best we can do is take an educated guess on how much insulin (or other diabetic medication) we need, based on our day's activity and food. Sometimes we all get it wrong, but the longer you have diabetes, the better you will get at managing it. Keeping a supply of glucose on you at all times is an extremely good idea. Hopefully hypos will be a rarity for you. However, when it comes to emergency glucose, it's better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.I did have a funny turn last week,I was in Tesco,and the pharmist said I was having a false hypo as my body is getting used to the new diet,she gave me a glucose sweet,and after a good cry,my headache eased,and the hot flush went,what makes people have hypos if they are eating correct...And Ty all for explaining things to me...xox
That comment about walking to the shops was meant to be followed by an example where you drive instead, so your blood sugars might go a bit high.

Sure thing. If you also post what you had for dinner, and how much insulin you gave yourself it will help to complete the picture.Thanks to you all...I am off to have my dinner,I will post back later with my readings if you don't mind...xox Not feeling so alone now,it's wonderful what a chat can do.
