After diagnosis I cut carbs out completely. No fruit only tiny bit of pitta occasionally. Sugars went down to 4 ish.
Apparently because of diabetes that means you are on dodgy ground of it goes below 5. So have to keep above 5.
Might not get hypos like a t1 but sugars can still dip.
Cana - As others have suggested, it is important you do your own research into the "5 to drive" mantra often cited relating to diabetes.
To be clear, I don't and never have taken any medications to manage my diabetes, but these days, my blood sugars usually in the 4 - after eating. I don't drive for a living, but I do drive, and don't test before I do so. There is no need.
The medication you are on lowers your blood glucose by your body passing it out in your urine. Clearly this is a forced process.
I have always struggled with the concept of eating up to match medications (although this can be a very valid and critical exercise for those on insulin and other serious blood sugar lowering medications). I can't for the life of me work out why I waould mwant to take a medication to deal with excess blood sugars, only then to have to eat in order to take the medications, to keep the blood numbers up, when the underlying condition is elevated blood sugars.
I am not suggesting you go gung-ho and stop your medication or change anything you are doing, just based on someone on t'internet, but I reiterate my encouragement that you do some further research.
The 5 to drive is all very well, but I bet there are thousands and thousands of people every day whose blood sugar isn't 5 as they sit behind the wheel of their vehicle. I mean, how would they know? Quite naturally, they never test.
