I've been type 2 now getting on for 4 years and whilst initally trying and then rebelling I had got to the stage where i was fairly controlled (generally between 6-8).
Then about a year ago I began to feel quite depressed initially I think thanks to my doctor's general attitude and the fact he was trying to pressure me down the insulin route which i don't really want due to my job, driving etc.
Anyway i probably spent the best part of the next 6 months not really in the frame of mind to adequately control my levels.
So recently I began to feel abit more like me and started knuckling down to get back in control, I started to low carb again with initial success (from 12+ down to mid 7's) then came down with a cold and my levels started to rise a little.
A week and a half ago my father in law passed away and since then even eating approx 30g of carbs a day i'm lucky if i get a reading under 12 even in the morning.
So my question boils down to this is this a normal result of stress or should i be thinking there's more to it and I need to see the doc even though that feels like a last resort?
