[QUOTE="Toms Grandma, post: 174013, member: 31123"] Can someone give me some insight please.........I start of in the mornings between 6.2 and 6.8 have breakfast about 8.30am, which is porridge with fruit.....40grams oats,2 canderel,boiled water, microwaved with a little milk once cooked, 2 hours after breakfast reading is 6.3 have just been out for a walk.....30 mins average walk then a bit of shopping then 20 mins brisk walk. By the time I get back home, at 12.45 I am feeling 'wobbly, shaky' and my blood reads 4.8. Diagnosed just before Christmas, diet only at the moment. This has happened before when I have been out .....a: should I be having something mid morning, am I leaving it too long between food. b: why do I feel wobbly at 4.8? Is this normal...... Having read more about carbs and things I wonder if the porridge has too much carb and I need to cut back on that......Generally for the rest of the day I am very low carb, i.e. no bread, pots,pasta or rice etc. I have gone from a overnight fasting reading of 8.5 to low 6's so think I am probably going in the right direction, but any advice will be gratefully received. I do not have porridge every day, its 50/50 other days I have egg, or egg and bacon. Many thanks Wendy [/QUOTE]
