My levels are all over the place again and I'm finding it hard to keep "happy"
I've been taken off the Novarapid and now on metformin with Levimir to see how I go.
New blood tests were done on friday and I've been told that it could take a month to get the GAD results back to determine if I'm really type one or if I'm type two. I've been treated as type 1 for 3 months, before that I wasn't diabetic at all.
Today I woke with a reading of 6.4
After having a measured amount of cereal and being active I rose to 10.4 for lunch
Lunch was Mcd's (yes I know I shouldn't have had it) my levels rose to 20.4 - ketones were 0.0
I checked again after 3 hours and my levels were 18.2 then I realised I forgot to take metformin with my meal!
I've been really active this afternoon too, and not eaten anything this evening yet as still full from lunch.
When I'm having a none active day my levels drop by the time I do readings though admittedly I'm more mindful of what I put in my mouth too!
Active days usually spike higher readings, this is really frustrating and results in binge eating.
My Hbc1 results are down to 6.3 - no idea what this means but the diabetic team are pleased with it.
Not really looking for advice, just having a vent, I know I need to be more careful with what I eat and remember to take the metformin especially on a higher carb meal.
