The positive is you are seeing the self destructiveness in what happened.  I’m confused why you thought you needed the 2 planned jelly babies though. You’d scored a 4.7 (I’d be dancing but hey that’s me) and thus ate a carb killer bar.  2 hrs later you’ve gone up to 5.4 (Still dancing after one of those!) which is the point you planned to eat sugar.   Yesterday (I’m thinking this was about the headache yes?) was likely not about blood sugars so how would sugar prevent it reoccurring. Again my view from what you post is that you are blaming all bad feelings on pretty normal and even good bgl’s with a huge fear of hypo/yearning for reassuring glucose.  You’ve managed to improve that situation somewhat over recent weeks by eating fewer carbs I know but obviously you’re still not happy with the numbers you see/how you feel and the relationship between them. In your shoes I’d really be considering asking to come off the forxiga (even as a short 3 month trial without it). Thus pretty much eliminate even the small risk of hypo you have, and also avoid headache inducing dehydration. In a perverse way I think it’s keeping your numbers higher because you keep resorting to carbs in order to prevent potential and feared  hypos. And every ill feeling, headache or grumpiness is blamed on feared “low” numbers further justifying eating to raise them.  Just my two pennies worth, feel free to ignore it.</blockquote>
