My starting waking number 2 weeks ago was 10, and I’m now getting readings of 4-8, which for me is brilliant! Without meds I go higher and higher running at 24.9.Today I got a low of 3, hadn’t taken my midday meal med yet. I had just got home so ate a few jelly babies and then a chunk of panettone as it was in the shopping bags! Tested and was 11 oops I’d over done it, but did feel much better at that point for the food! Any advice for what best to eat when hypo would be appreciated! The nurses don’t ever say as they don’t expect me to go low. Seem to be quite sensitive to the meds! Was on Gliclazide 40mg once day and was too strong. I have dextrose tablets in my pockets as they don’t melt (as jelly babies do!) but in the house have jelly babies on hand. Should I then eat something carb? Usually below 4 I get the shakes and start to feel unwell, so can feel it dropping. But so far Repaglinide is amazing!</blockquote>
