Hi there, can someone please help! Since my sister in law did 2 fasting glucose meter readings for me, both a bit high,8.8mmol and the other a bit lower, I bought a meter to test my own.I have felt unwell for a long time, going from a highly energetic person to someone who feels like they are on their last legs! I am 37 years old and have been a runner since I was 15, and still throw myself out of the door to run 2 -3 miles 5 nights a week. Since I have had my meter I have had readings from 3.3mmol to 13.8 mmol ( 1/2 and hour after eating) What has scared me to death is that at 3.8mmol and 3.3 mmol I felt so ill, shaking, shivering and out of it, it has happened while driving which is scary.I drank 2 mouthfuls of Lucozade on the 3.3mmol and went to 7.8 in 15 minutes.Also any reading under 4.5 leaves me feeling very shaky (although I believe this is a normal reading) When my blood sugar is high I feel fine.My moods are unbelievable, like a yo-yo, my daughter says I am bi-polar but I know I am not.Also I have noticed, if I go running it will go up 5mmol or so, I though exercise should bring BG down.This is all so strange, but I do not want to go to the doctor, although my sugar can go low so quickly, I will be fine one minute, then BANG! I have read a lot about Hypoglycemia, and the only difference I have is that mine also goes HIGH.The lows are scary when you are driving with your 5 year old in the car.Please help, I am so sick of feeling sick,thankyou, Daisy
