[QUOTE="WorriedPartner, post: 2325230, member: 532199"] An update. Not a good week, my wife passed out again on Tuesday, yet her numbers were ok (8). Short Synacthen Test (if that's what it was) come back OK. She tried having a carb free day, first 6 hours were ok, numbers steady between 8 and 8.4, then shot up to 12 then 15 (hours 7 and 8), then down to 13.5 (hour 9) then down to 10 (hour 10), then through the night went down to 5, she was doing no work or exercise. (she'll try again next week). She's going to try slowly reducing the percentage of carbs in general, but the diabetes team have warned against cutting them out for long periods. We bought a smart watch, and a MiaoMiao 2, the shop assistant was actually wearing a MiaoMiao 1 and explained to my wife how it had been life changing for him, unfortunately we were unable to get an app to work (spike/xDrip+/Glimp) and will go back to shop next week to see if they can help. Overall, she's feeling low at the moment, she had to reduce her thyroxine, so feels a little tired, then she started a tablet for her kidneys that makes her feel a bit low, then passing out again has completely knocked her confidence. Someone suggested that she could have a condition known as 'brittle diabetes', when we researched brittle diabetes it seemed to match her symptoms, but we won't assume anything yet, we'll get the MiaoMiao working and keep a very detailed diary and keep fingers crossed that we get to see a specialist soon.
